Description TRADITIONAL IS HARD. man! this thing was brutal. I've done acrylics before, and thats usually not too bad, because you can layer paint on top of it, whenever you make a mistake. But Watercolors?! Their one true purpose is to toy with your feelings, they point and laugh as you cry with your brush in hand, as you try and figure out why the paint didn't go where it was supposed to.


Painting from light to dark, layering paint , and making sure you don't cover the white is extremely challenging. It probably saves more time if you pre-plan this stuff more. Regardless, It was very fun, and I learned a lot. I used a couple of different things, like water colors, watered down acrylics, inks, and colored pencils. My computer is down, so I've just been entertaining myself doing these traditional pieces.Β 


I'm hoping that once I get my new computer, I'll be able to tweak this a little bit. But for now, this is the raw scan.


btw, Link never gets boring to draw.


Keep arting!

A very cool design for Link. Nintendo should have gone in this direction instead.

I used to use the intuos 4 for a while, I had something cheaper before that but i cant remember what it was. Anything Wacom will be your best bet honestly.Β

I find Link has been getting more and more effeminate with each new game. Β I feel this brings back that older and tougher exterior he had way back when. Β Wonderful!

The answer has already been handed to us. It's a LoZ for the Wii.

Grats on the DD. I actually tried water colors before I ever tried acrylics. I know exactly what you mean. The good thing water color has better than acrylics is in the cleaning up. Acrylic dries on the pallet, and it's hard to get off compared to water color.

Actually, considering the fact that it sounds like watercolors are not your preferred method of painting, this is pretty good. Nice details, and there are no really noticeable places where the color doesn't look like it belongs. Nice job. And congrats on the DD. True skills, man.

Thank you so much! It did take a while to get used to it, and a lot of times I would give it a day to let the colors dry and go over it again in layers until it was somewhat clean.

I guess that's the fun of watercolors. Even though it's not doing what you want it to it still comes out completely unique and interesting.

It definitely gives it a certain life and character. I learned that it also helps you loosen up, and be a little bit more fearless when making art.
