I know what you mean. I'm the same way with some of my artwork too. -3-

No problem, you really do beautiful work with watercolors. What kind of paper and brushes do you use? I'm quite curious.

Oh, this artists troubles, lol)))I dunno, maybe I just should get some real art education? I just don't fill enough motivation doing everything by myself... My artists friend helps me, but still... I'm so not sure of everything

Ok, I used a Faber-castll watercolor paper. This one: [link]
It is really nice. I mean... When you don't know how to put the color, the paper puts it for you, srsly %)! I draw with Kolinsky Brush#3 and 2. And I also used some squirrel brush for the background. You know it's pretty soft and make it easier to work with a big parts of the drawing. And also I used brown ink for lines.

I would try getting an art education if I were you. I can't get one right now because I'm too young, but if you feel like you need it, go for it. Of course, you really do beautiful work, so I wouldn't be so hard on yourself either.

Wow.. I really gotta get that paper. Normally I buy cheap Canson paper from the art store because it's the only good paper it has without being too expensive..but with that being only three dollars..wow, that's a crazy good deal! I like your use of materials too, I'm going to see if I can get them.

Oh, and by the way, I know this kinda sounds random, but you really speak some good English for being a second language!

How old are you? I'm 21 and I have a lot of different feelings about drawing... Also I like writing. I write only Russian, though and I have A LOT OF FUN. And also I've been studying applied linguistics since 2007 and gonna study it 'till 2012 ) So... I just thinking about 2nd education. But I'm so not sure about a lot of things. But your words made me feel... more...positive about it, you know)

O! Canson! I'm so understand you, lol XD! I usually draw on canson paper xD! Also I use sometimes herlitz. It's the cheapest paper. It can give some nice color effects, but it has one bad point: it's really thin .____.
This Faber castle paper was a present from You know, it's really hard to get good art stuff here in Ukraine D: And they all f*king expensive TAT Thanks to all friends that support me. For example, I got my ink brushes from and

Oh my! Thank you xD You know. I really love English and I have not enough people around to speak it loud. And each time when I meet a native English speaker in real life I'm so shy to speak! 'cause... I really wanna... But, um, my pronounce and other stuff. Omg, now I'm going random, lol xD
I'm also a translator from English into Russian, btw xD

Well, I'm 15 and a first year in high school. I think you should go for it. I'm glad I'm able to help.

Yeah, canson is really thin.. I don't have much fancy stuff watercolor wise so my paintings look so awful in terms of quality. Plus the paper seems like it always crinkles up on me, whether I use tape to hold it down or not.

Wow, it's really cool you got people to ship stuff to you.

No problem! ^^ It's really cool to see people who are multilingual. I'm trying to learn another language as well, because I'm really inspired by people who can speak English as a second language.

Oh, high school! Nice And... Where r u from? I'm just curious xD

Yeah, when you got good materials in your hands it'd make your drawing easier

Oh, what language do you want to study?

Cheruphim In reply to summer-birds [2011-03-12 17:36:22 +0000 UTC]

Yup. Oh, I'm from the States. Sad to say, but yup, that's where I'm from.

Yup, I'm going to try to get them. Normally I do my work digitally but I can't wait to get better materials so I can draw better traditional stuff.

Oh, right now I'm studying Spanish. It's mandatory in our areas, but I would really love to study European languages like French and such.
