A Crusader at DawnDecember 16th, 2008
Watercolors, pen, and pencil
I did this as an assignment in my Expressionism class. We just had to design a cover art for a skecthbook. This was my cover. I'm actually rather pleased with it, the watercolors didn't rebel too much, and I even like some of the dream-like shapes they made by themselves.
It's always nice when your art takes care of itself.

I want a sketchbook with a cover like that. It is amazing. Did you like working with watercolors?
P.S. I finally got some pen nibs and a holder. I plan to start practicing tomorrow. ^_^

Yeah, watercolors are a lot of fun, though I find they can be a little frustrating for me. One of their most charming aspects is that they look very story-bookish because of they patterns the water makes with the pigments, but that also means the watercolors pretty much do whatever they darn please. (or at least it seems that way to me 
Awesome! I hope you have a lot of fun! They really are heap loads of fun, just remember to try and keep your nib at a 45 degree angle.

Very cool. It would be nice if some parts in addition to the helmet were shaded.
