Fourth attempts for watercoloring~~
Third attempts will be uploaded later after I send it to someone~~

This time I tried multiple characters and wider landscape, also limited the colors to three basic colors in watercoloring (red, yellow, and blue) and a skin color of Sakura's poster color.
Want to try mixing colors without depending on the other colors provided XDD I used pencil colors for outlining characters. Duration for this is about 7 hours include sketching.

My scanner had failed me. The original one is brighter than this one. No matter how I adjusted the brightness, it didn't bring out the colors like the original one.

I also realized that the composition isn't balanced and it lacks some lighting effect. Moreover, I just drew the foliage as I like and when I checked on the net, the foliage near the river isn't like that. Ahh... I need to practice more.

Uhh, despite any lacks of this artwork, I hope you like it. The three of them were at the river and suddenly Zura fell down because of banana peel (planted by Gintoki) when he tried to jump into the river. Maybe the Zura's swimming style legend had its root from here?? Hahahahahahaa!

Thank you for faving~
Comments are appreciated.

I think the foliage would be okay if there were more low lying shrubbery just beyond and inbetween the rocks and a little more earth tones, maybe some smaller plants closer to the water or overlying it. As is it does look a little man made or purposefully cleared. I've seen this sort of look around rivers and lakes that have been cleaned up for recreational use.

That said, oh my god, this is so funny and cute! Lol, Katsura looks so dead! This could very well be the way his swimming style came about.

If you're just working with three colors, then I think you're doing a pretty good job mixing. I especially like the blues and greens in the trees. Watercolor is great, I hope you stick with it!

Woah, I forgot replying comments on this art. OTL
Ohh, I see, I see. I also thought it's pretty neat somehow for a river scene but dunno what was wrong with it. So those are what I missed on. I'll add it someday.

Hahahaha, yes, the legend of dead swimming style.

Thankies~ But watercolor is hard on body. Too much energy spent. I do like the way it brushes off the pencil traces and the well mixed colors, but cleaning up the mess is pain in the ass. Maybe after I bored with digital, I'll divert to this.
