Description I decided to try a new painting style, especially with the fur and I'm not quite sure what I think of it yet. It will take me a while I think to adjust and decide which style I want to go with.

In the meantime, here is Alypia

When it comes to painting, watercolor is always one of those styles that I find difficult to grasp and understand. How you painted Alypia here is phenomenal and vivid, a very stylistic representation is though designed for a trading card, and the fur is shaded quite well where it is easy to see the individual strands that make up the mane and all of its color variations. It is very good work, in my opinion.

Awww thanks so much And yes, watercolor is a particular paint and I have just recently started using new ones, as well as gouache, which I am completely new to, so I'm trying out a bunch of stuff and hoping it will come out ok xD I do learn something with every piece, so there's that haha

You are very welcome! It is always fun and interesting to experiment with new styles and modes of artwork; I have never used gouache paint before, but I am familiar with oils and tempura paints as compared to the other 'exotic' kinds (such as gouache or inks), so to speak. It is not just a way to step out of your comfort zone, but it will also be worth the effort to learn a new medium of paint in the long run.

You are absolutely right :] Its fun to try out new experiences with other medium. And I'm discovering things I find I love, like gouache and coliro pearlescent paints

I have never even heard of coliro pearlescent paints, so I might have to try using them at some point if I can find them. I think the most exotic medium of paint that I have thought about using was something that was not conventionally considered paint, such as make-up or tea.

Oh, I have never tried something like tea or makeup, haha, but I do know some people that have and the results looked incredible. If I tried it, it would look horrible I imagine. I bought the Coliro paints on Amazon but you can buy them directly on the Coliro website. It's a bit expensive though, but totally worth it. It adds really nice touches to a drawing C:

Neither have I, but I did see other artists using those as a medium of paint, so I felt inspired to try them for myself when I might have had the right kind of paper. Though, to be perfectly honest, you would never be good at it if you never practiced; not everyone will get something right out of the box, so to speak, but I am sure you know that. I will definitely have to take a look at the Coliro paints then, because I am eager to try something different. Thank you for the recommendation!
