Description Man, I really do love watercolors.

No specific species this time; I just like antelope shapes. c: This'll be my "It's the end of finals week, YAY!" picture.

MEDIA: Watercolor with colored pencil on 9x12 watercolor paper.

Beautifull watercoloring! how do you make th colors blend in so beautifully? and by the way, when you scanned this, what settings did you use??

I used the wet-on-wet technique here, which is achieved by putting down a layer of wet watercolor (yellow, for example) and applying another color around/over the wet area. The water itself blends the colors. Thank you!

And it was nearly two years ago when I scanned this, so I can't remember! ;.; Might have been 300DPI.

You are really, really good with colours. Seriously. I love the red yellow gradient, and the simple way you drew this. And the crosshatching as well. xP

I like the abstract qualities. It looks a bit like a children's book illustration, but with a fine arts flair thrown in.

My cheapo watercolor set claimed that it was red. xD I like the pink result, though.

I didn't have 'chubby' in mind, but okay.

I'm glad; my brain was seriously overloaded, especially at the beginning of the week (I didn't see you at all that day, but I was...continuously crying from about third to seventh hour. Wtf, hormones.). Eesh.

Wolfyu In reply to Hyourin [2007-12-22 20:22:10 +0000 UTC]

For this picture, I was lazy and used a severely cheap-o set of those 'cake' ones. xD

When I actually feel like getting dirty, I use a weird off-shoot brand that I received as a gift a few years back, in the tube form. :B

Hyourin In reply to Wolfyu [2007-12-22 20:24:39 +0000 UTC]

I use a set of Talens cakepans... I also have some Winsor-Cotman cakepans, but they have such a weird...feel to them. o0 It's so bizarre.

Wolfyu In reply to Hyourin [2007-12-22 23:00:33 +0000 UTC]

Huh..I'll have to see if I can find either of those two brands. I don't watercolor often, so mine have lasted a looong time. :B

Hyourin In reply to Wolfyu [2007-12-23 14:12:22 +0000 UTC]

The Talens is nice; though I think it maybe they're a student brand. The Winsor pans though, they just have this plastic consistency and look to them.
