Description I haven't done any watercolor work in a while aside from that landscape practice and I can see that I need to spruce up in this department again. A little rusty, but I had fun doing this.

My favorite was Yue but she was a little tedious to paint, Korra was the easiest.

It is amazing what you can do with a single pigment and some water.

floppyturd [2012-11-16 16:00:54 +0000 UTC]

what brand of water colors are they ?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

JD-SPEEDbit In reply to floppyturd [2012-11-16 20:58:18 +0000 UTC]

I used two types of brands for these practice paintings. I used dry watercolor cakes (the ones in the picture) and it's just from one of those box artsets with pastels and pencils. The main paint brand I used though was Artist's Loft tube paint. It's a cheap priced brand and is really convenient for those just starting out or not ready to buy more expensive brands.

As for tips, if you have any specific questions, I'll be willing to answer them. Just message me a note, and I'll see what I can do for you.

the main tip i could ask is the differences in the colors in some places its really dark in others bright its probably something really easy

Aha, thanks Yeah Yue was fun to paint, I'm a sucker for galactic backgrounds and her being the moon spirit and all really did it in. Yes, Iroh is doing his thing!

Thanks But it took a lot of practice to get here and I haven't completely mastered the full extent of watercolor yet. Give it time and do some practice tests to really help yourself improve. I was actually pretty bad at painting when I started out.

LivanyandMaii In reply to JD-SPEEDbit [2012-11-16 21:26:44 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, but it turned out great! I found painting to be much harder than your everyday sketching because its one stroke of color that you can't take back and it's just, difficult.
It's cool to see other paintings and see how amazing they are, but I don't think I'll ever master it. I never really get the chance to.
I love this painting so much, I love watercolor ^.^

JD-SPEEDbit In reply to LivanyandMaii [2012-11-16 21:31:24 +0000 UTC]

Well, a small chance you get of painting during a day adds to understanding it further But yeah, it's really amazing what people can do with paint. I was so nervous with these practices because I hadn't done lineart watercolors in a while. My hand kept shaking all over the place, had to take multiple breaks lol.

Haha, I've tried painting with watercolor before but, it really doesn't suit me.
