Hi, long time no post. I never feel as if anything I do is worth scanning, fixing and posting. :( But from now on I'll post WIPs too, I'll post one tomorrow.

As the title says, this was just a little watercolor doodle. Last time I used watercolors was in 5th grade, so I just fooled around with my little brother's set last night.

Scanner absolutely ate away the colors, they lost their vibrancy. Tried fixing it up in Photoshop. To be scrapped.

Time: About 20 minutes.

Tools:
-Mechanical pencil 0.7
-24 Crayola Watercolor set
-Brushes that came with the set
-Normal printing paper (bad choice, I just didn't want to waste my actual watercolor paper)
-White gel pen (for eyes and lips)
-Photoshop for cleanup and dodge arc across hair

Any watercolor suggestions would be greatly appreciated (techniques, personal methods etc.)

As angels we can't hate. As demons we can't love.
All of them arrived at some conclusions: Humans are really lucky. They have freedom to do both.

Thats really cool...

I like how the different colors seem to blend together...

When I tried to do water colors, it didn't turn out so well...

As for techniques or tricks, cant help you there...

Awesome watercoloring~! ^^ I think it's really hard to get watercolors done that well, so keep it up! ^^

I've witnessed complete silence many times, and it's not silent at all. It's a ringing in your ears that keeps telling you that you're alone.

Many thanks to =EweRox for the subscription! <333

As I've said over and over before, watercolors ARE NOT a beginner's media. They are cheaply sold to younger children in trays because they require no solvents to use, but the are among the most difficult of all paints to master because of their transparency. That said, it doesn't look like your time away from them hurt you a bit! Excellent washes in the background and the subject colors are vibrant (in spite of being washed out by your scanner). This definitely doesn't belong in scraps.

Absolutely pretty! :heart:

What I love most is the eyes. Excellent detail and I do like the shape. Good job. :thumbsup:

I like the style and colour of her hair. The colour looks fresh and unique. Nice touch of the dodge across the hair.

Overall, you did a fantastic job.
