Description If anyone had ever told me to draw Euphies enchantix traditionally I'd smack them in their face because all those lights, HOW?!?! So IDK what struck me and why I suddenly thought it was a good idea. But the whole thing went better than anticipated and I had fun with it :3 I might do something similar with some of my other OCs :3 

This is a mix of various medias: colourpencils, fineliners, watercolours, markers and metallic markers.  

The title is inspired by a 30 Seconds to Mars song by the same title :3

All those lights actually turned out very well! They look very neon/fluro, despite being traditional.

Thank you so much Angel! It was a fun challenge to try traditionally, and I admit, I didn't know how to do it for a while xD I did figure out a way eventually, so I'm glad it worked :3

Haha, I came across while listening to another electrical Lily song

Spot the watercolors in wings Eu's ench never stops amazing, I think we've seen it in all styles possible? And please, DO a collection *_* What I wanna see is how you do Circi's hair in watercolors)
It's a cool style actually, I'd try it when I get back to drawing Winx. Paper adds charm to it <3 Pencils look almost as they were pastels, especially on the black wrapping. Isn't it pastels on the black actually? Adore the usage of thin fineliners on hair, a perfect decision for Eu's light hair.

Hahha, how appropriate!  

I honestly had no idea what I was doing with the watercolour. All I did was go with a wet-on-wet technique and be like: JUST MAKE IT BLEND xD I think you might have seen it in all styles - but I like drawing the design soo I think I might, I really want to have a go on Safiyah in this style Circi's hair in watercolours? Well I think I might just go with a black marker - this drawing contains markers too you know  

You should, it's really nice to try out something different once in a while, and you are good at watercolours, so you can totally ace this!  
Thank you No those are just watercolour pencils (my fav type of pencils) on dark grey marker  
Thank you so much dear

It's called "ELECT" - www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQMKRx… Idk really what it's about but instrumentals scream "Eu's ench"

It's enchanting to look at blending watercolors, isn't it? :3
Yup, I just imagined how Circi's hair could look in watercolor. It's a transparent paint, at least transparency is its speciality, and black watercolors is practically never used (although it exists). So I'm curious to see Circi's hair made with sepia, umber, cobalt blue or violet paint. Ah I must try it

I just need a couple of sketches on watercolor paper to experiment with them : P

Aww such paper makes them all look like pastels)

It really is, but I have no contol of watercolours at all xD 
Pfffft, how could I have forgotten! Dawn did an amazing watercolour birthday present for me this summer, with Circi in it THRICE:

THAT. That is how Circi's hair is supposed to be Dawn is an absolutely amazing artist  
I think you should spend your time more wisely drawing your OCs, darling, I miss them, rather than wasting time on my attention-whores xD 

Do! I started on Saf in this series and the pose is nearly the same because I wanted to keep the sketch as simple as possible Her skin is so hard to get right though. 

Well pastels are nice!

I'd argue with that :3

Oh I saw it Enjoyable! :3

Looking forward to Saf
I made a drawing of Abbie in harmonix with watercolors today, hope to upload it asap. Too bad I don't have scaner at home, I should either make an excellent photo or go scan it somewhere else :3
Haha, you shouldn't have made them wonderful outfits

They really are! I feel like my batch of 24 colors isn't enough I nearly melted away when I saw 72 colors batch in a shop...

I kindof gave up on Saf. I didn't manage to catch ehr skin colour properly with water colours. Maybe I should look at it again when I'm home?  
Yes Abbie looked wonderfully  
AHahahahahaha, says the fashion designer

Oh, 72 I have a colour pencil set with 72 that I bought last year. Maybe you could wish them for christmas or your next birthday?

uuu she looks gorgeous here!
Dang I have no idea how you managed to draw her enchantix this well traditionally but it really looks as perfect as you do it digitally *-*  The colors that are on the cloth transfer perfectly the feeling of bright lights being on her >u< 
And must take a min to appreciate hair drawing...I love how you drew it here so much

I also love the kind of texture the drawing has...I know it's not done by you but by the paper type but it still add onto the drawing something special <3

Aww thank you so much Mari! :3 
This is actually mainly colour pencil. The base of the black was done with marker and colour pencil works surprisingly nice on top of that :3 
Ahaha, I really like how her hiar came out too :3 

I know, I was thinking the same :3 I finally got myself to try out the watercolour paper I got from my aunt last summer xD 
Thank you dear
