Yay for traditional work! I wanted to get used to using watercolours, and it was pretty fun.

(note: do not use watercolours and acrylics at the same time)

Because it was my first time using watercolours in a while, and I felt that it wasn't good enough to be seen. 8D

Thanks Nomi~ ♥

Wow, this is amazing! (Go traditional)
So glad to hear that you have one of your projects done and ready to go!
Keep on going, Kim! ;D
I've never worked with water colours before; is it easy? Messy? Thick? Smooth?

Thanks Le!

I used my old Crayola Watercolours back from elementary school, they tend to be really thin, and you can control the thiness by how much water you put in it (more water = way more thin). It's pretty easy if you know what you're doing, I use really thin paint to colour in the base colour, then I wait till it's pretty dry and use more thicker paint for a bolder color to shade. You should try it~ ♥

As I've told *leayana , I can't watercolour for shit. D: This is so pretty, love the warm hues and the way you drew the hair and skirt~

And it's great you're trying out some different things, anyway. What gave you the idea for using watercolour outta nowhere? O:

It was an assignment for a class, and we had to do it on a poster. Since I know printing a digital picture out won't fill up the space. So I decided that using watercolours would be cool, because I haven't used it in months. >_>

See a traditional work of yours is refreshing after a stream of digital.

I so envy you artists.
