^-^ I read your tutorial on this! But one question... How do you stay in the lines like that? Is it just something that comes from experience, or am I making a stupid mistake that I don't even know exists?

You know what, watching what you do too much is just depressing.... (<3)

Just color in the lines as much as you can, but watercolors should be transparent and the lines should show anyway.

...Oh man. The eyes are AMAZING. D: How come the eyelashes are so fine?! Don't the watercolours bleed?

luciole In reply to Kuroda-Michiyo [2007-12-11 15:40:21 +0000 UTC]

Thanks The watercolors only bleed if the paper is wet. I used a very thin brush for the lashes.

You art is so pretty! I wish I could use watercolor like that, in my school you have to take watercolor classes in freshman year. I thought it was going to be horrible, but I can't wait now (teachers make u start with poster paint first).

Thanks for the advice
Do you think that someone can learn how to draw better and
color well with watercolor by learning it on his own?
Because i learn art by myself.

luciole In reply to TokioHotel-Lover [2007-03-23 17:02:22 +0000 UTC]

Of course ! I learnt most of my things by myself too. But occassioal critiques and suggestions from others will help as well.

So beaituful and vibrant! I love the bouquette with the bunnies and her soft green eyes. Saw this on your site first and looked at the tutorials and such which was a nice insight Do you think the salt trick for texture and the masking stuff would work for acrylics or just watercolor? I wanna try it XD

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

luciole In reply to StarMasayume [2007-02-14 14:31:33 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! !! I dont think salt will work for acrylics, cos it wont be able to eat the paint well.. so I'm not sure..
For masking, I dont think so XD.. when acrylics dry, it'll become like a layer of paint, so once you try to remove the masking, everything will be removed as well. At least.. that will happen if the paint layer is thick.. hmm..

*_*; Try!! THen tell me XDD

lol Well that make sense. I just like the effect. Might just need to try watercolors one day XD I seriously water my acrylics down till they're like tints anyway o.O
