Artist's Comments

:iconcommentplz::iconreadplz:

well this is my first piece done on holiday, real media on account of me coming from SNOW temperatures to +30 in a couple of days time and the computer room (my digital art area) being way too hot to stand for longer than 2 hrs at a time. UGH things have been way too hectic here personally too. I thought this would be the perfect time to buckle down and make some art but digitally its a nightmare.

Hence watercolors.. aaah watercolors. The one medium that always beats my ass into submission with how LITTLE patience and skill I have for it. To me I could only aspire to be as awesome as the incredibly talented *AlectorFencer and *Ricefish who rape and inspire me with their skillz!

I have NEVER had a watercolor class or teacher and am floundering pathetically in the medium with little to no materials... but I try D:

Atleast I have a good scanner here in aussie... </3

If anyone has any watercolor advice please feel free to speak up. I don't have any masking fluid hence the wonky un-evenness of the podcat itself.

Materials: watercolor, green, white and silver prismacolor pencils, white acrylic paint for details.

Critique? I can't say anything...

Wow, you really see the watery nature of the podcat here, and even though its in water colour it looks awesome especially the fur.

I am by no means an expert, but I think this example is beautiful! The water has a very lifelike appearance, especially with the shadows of the podcat beneath the surface. I say don't be beat, but do more of these only to improve on the skills that you already are showing.

You did that using water color...? cool~
:iconsulka:
The water's texture is unbelievably pretty... the perspecitve might be a little off at some spots but otherwise really good-looking.

I believe you did a marvelous job with the watercolors! I love the way the water glistens and the vibrancy of the green on the podcat. ...I think you're more skilled with watercolor than you think. :nod:

"I claw the dust and beg the air
Curse the day I began to hope
There'd be a place where I'd belong

I hear a sound I recognize
You lift my chin and seek my eyes
The song of love You sing to me
I ache to sing it back to Thee
