Whoa, that looks awesome! XD and the salt thing with water color is a pain to get perfect. As It react's diffrently to diffrent colors, 
Are those half back pearls I see as well? That is a really cool touch.

Thank you
And I'm also glad that you took the time to read through the description box (I thought nobody ever reads this ) and thank you .. I wondered whether I'm the only one who couldn't manage to make this salt thing like in the tuts on youtube, but if you say that this needs a while, then I'm relieved I thing I just have to try different paper and maybe also colors (I'n using White Nights at the time)
Yes, first I just drew them, but then I found some from nail art and decided to glue them on the pic Hehe thank you

My pleasure! XD yeah, I think that too most days, but I always read the description box.
XD welcome! I have painted water color on and off for a few years, and I still have issues with that!
XD again you are most welcome!

Haha .. well that makes reading impossibble then 
Watercolor is so unpredictable ..

It's what makes it fun though, you can learn somthing new about it each time you use it. ^^

Yes, each picture changes a little bit the style and the techniques..
Only with copics I have my problems .__.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've only three copics, e00 and two other fleshy toned ones, though I do have spectrum noir.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What do you mean by "spectrum noir"? Sorry, somehow I didn't understand it.
Well.. what kind of paper did you use? With copics it's just the same, much depends on paper.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No worrys, it was my lack of explanation. Spectrum noirs are a brand of artist markers, a cheaper alternative to copics pretty much. You can get a pack of six colors for about 14$ or so USD, they are alcohol based, and they have smaller non flexible nibs. Much like promarker nibs if you've heard of them.
Spectrums Just have better color laydown then pro markers generally.
normaly I'll use plain old card stock, it takes the color nicer. I always use another sheet of paper underneath my drawing though, it helps with the bleeding.

Aha.. well I never heard of them, here people usually use Copics, Letraset, Faber Castells Pitt and some other graffity marker.. I forgot the name! >.<
But it sounds interesting! I wanted to try out promarkers, but maybe I'll go for the spectrum noir ^^
Well..I use some mixed media paper from Canson (i really like it!), deleter paper and Canson Marker Paper. last is the best one for copics, deleter looks great when you know how to handle.. I have to practice and the first one is okay for everything.
Maybe you really try some .. also I got a pad of bamboo and Schoellershammer, when I use them, i can tell you more.
Yes, but also absorbs to much ink 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've heard of those, though I've not used my Pitt pens in some time.
and If you are not sure about which markers to get, try watching some youtube videos on them!
Videos aren't always helpful I know, but you may get a general idea of which you would prefer. I use a mix of both, depending on what I want to work on.
I think I have a pad of paper that's designed for markers, but I wasn't fond of it, I know it wasn't Canson though.
and i do have a mixed media pad that is like on hand, so I think I'll try that out, see how it goes for me.
I will certainly check That brand out, it seems worth looking into at the very least!
I can't deny that >< but it works for now, not the greatest, but certainly much better then normal sketch book paper.

No, I think I'm happy with copics and I've already spent toooooo much money on them xD
Before I got some copics, I watched like 100000 videos, but none of them helped me haha No, really some people do not know how really use them post videos which don't help and the skilled people well.. it's really hard to explain how they work
really just try it, even cheep marker pads are good (at least the one I got)
haha you really seem to have lots of different art tools. you HAVE to use that all ! ;D and upload it here ,r eally
here in my country people seem to love colorex ink.. ,maybe you heard of them, I really want to try them, but I just bought my new white nights.. so first I'll have to use them D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't blame you one bit! XD they are a pricy investment after all.
agreed, I've watched a lot of coloring vids, and some of them make even a novice like me cringe 
I definitely will, just need to find one! I was so sure my local stores carried marker pads, but now they're mostly mixed media and sketch books. 
hm, sounds kinda familiar, is it a brand of the colored ink pots for calligraphy pens? I remember seeing that name somewhere, maybe watercolor but it's been awhile.
For my watercolor I used mainly koi, which are pretty nice, most of the colors have beautiful pigments. I've never tried white night though!

hahaha indeed they are xD
Yupp..^^ That's exactly how I felt, too..)) I mean drawing can be learnt 
Yeah, that's the best way I think. And observe in nature forms, shadows, angles etc..
And it might be helpful have other artist to check on own works too
I'll check out your gallery after I finish the comment hehe .. hope to find some new stuff hehe
Yeah, same here. For my last birthday I got the white nights
Nope, not exactly.. at least in germany we habe two different main types of ink, I'm not sure how to explain: "india" ink and ink.. (leo.org, in ger. Tinte or Tusche)
that for example is ink (Tinte)
www.sennelier.fr/Les-Couleurs/…
and this is "indian" ink (Tusche)- you can use those like watercolors
www.kunstpark-shop.de/Kuenstle…
I never heard of "koi" .. I'll have to aks google... xD

You are not being mean at all, simply stating the truth.
its good to look around and see what looks right to you, and what looks wrong, and how light affects things and the like, I'm just starting to really pay attention to such things
true true, some times they have the knowldge to help in a constructive way, but more often then not, they do not know how to give that advice, or even if that advice is wanted.
I personly am not good at giving constructive advice on drawings on DA, because I don't know if its wanted, or how to go about it as I am still learning myself!
"this sucks"
and thank you! I just was able to reply to all the lovely comments. I really appreciate it by the way
Haha! This last B-day of mine I got a intuos creative pen and touch tablet s, www.wacom.com/en/us/creative/i…
and I enjoy it but I am not very good at it yet! XD the best I can do are sketches, as I'm very bad at line art right now.
ok, I think I know what you mean, we have things like that as well, though I am not very knowledgable about them, its a medium I never played with too much.
'koi' is the brand Sakura's water color line.
