When working with watercolors, I used to add some Indian ink. You could try that to make some effects or to enhance the watercolors.

Yeah sometimes you have to add mixed media to watercolor to enhance it . Thanks for the tips

hmm well I like it
I feel like that too, sometimes i create something and I love it but after a while I wonder why I once liked it that much, i think it's because we're changing as much as our style and talent

that is really good to hear, most of the people lose their interest into a special topic after a while and though they are really good at it they stop to improve,that's sad

A great typical gollum expression, nicely done, especially the fact that it's done in watercolours

I always found them tricky to work with.

Painting is not my thing really, I did try it once oil based, but I never got round to completing it I'll just stick to my pencils ^_^

Irishchicky In reply to dark-leoheart [2007-10-12 10:35:23 +0000 UTC]

oils take alot of practise and lots of patience. Ill work my way up to them sometime

dark-leoheart In reply to Irishchicky [2007-10-12 10:41:08 +0000 UTC]

My grandma does them fantastically, just the thing is i've hadn't had the time to take it all in, let alone that I started off using a pencil, I guess i'm just too used to using pencils

Irishchicky In reply to dark-leoheart [2007-10-12 10:49:05 +0000 UTC]

yeah painting takes a loose free hand. If I over use a pencil when I work i find it translates to my other work and I become stiff

Nobody said art was painless

But like I said, I do like your work I don't know many who use watercolours very often

You're welcome. I sometimes do photomanipulations since seeing that i'm at a graphical college. But my heart will always be in animation

Ah~ This PWNs!!
This is recognizably Gollum, but you drew it with your own style. You've also captured the evil and wicked quality of this character. Excellent work!
