Description
Had an artblock about a month earlier, then I've come across this meme. [link] by Which I thought it might be interesting.[Explanation]
Basically, you have to follow the 4 steps and select the words that corresponds in the list. Then make a selection out of the 3 possiblities for each letter. You have to make a drawing out of these subjects. Quite a hard challenge, but I find it very amusing :3
[My situation]
First and last letter of username: S and E
Day and month of birthday: 16 and 09
I had to select between the corresponding words;
S: scythe, snow, school
E: eel, elf, explosion.
I got these: snow, elf, flying, ear. The result is the picture above.

wow nice work*.* the character reminds me a bit of the banner of the stars characters, really cool and unique!!!;D lets see.. tips... watercolor I'd say is almost so temperamental that you'll almost just have to keep playing with it to figure out what it likes to do and how to manipulate it! but the basics is when trying to cover an large aria with an consistent smooth fill applying water with an clean brush then immediately add color with another brush so it'll bleed out throughout the moist aria this is called wet on wet! but if the color settles on the edges then dry your brush and absorb the color and feather the moisture on the edge! then theres wet on dry which I do a lot of for detail work but it often ends up being a struggle between adding too much hard color or water then having to dab it out with a touch of water and dry napkin to get it the way I want but you cant always wash the color out when you put it down too heavy and sit too long!:/ anyways the rule of thumb is to watch closely to how much color and water you have in your brush to get the effect you want ohyah and make sure you got decant watercolor paper trust me the bad stuff really stinks and no mater how good you r it'll turn out like junk!-.- and of corse study and try to imitate other great watercolorist like [link] or [link] alright bro I'll be watching your progress keep up the great work it's looking awesome I like what you see!!!;D

Well, like you said before. It is kinda tricky to use watercolors. But I'm still in experimenting phase though. This is also the first pic where I used no graphite pencils.
