Watercolor Magic

kokumi009 (Jul 9, 2007)

Today we had our first colored watercolor activity and I had so much fun!
We did rocks and lots of other still-life paintings.
It was hard for me to get used to a water medium since I was used to a oil and pastel ones ^^
Anyway...This was supposed to be an animated version of me (with my poor hairstyle)
I try to imagince that that drawings come to life since water gives life. XD I know it sounds cheesy XP
The brush I was using was a bamboo one cos i don't have watercolor brushes from before.

drawn in 1 hour 43 min

finished! i know the bg is kinda dull but i didn't know what else to use :(
Anyway, I think I should work on contrasting the colors A LOT!
I think I got confused with the lighting...
Criticism is very much welcome bec. I really really need it O_o

Just as everyone else said, very creative! And I love your semi-solid style of painting :3

kokumi009 (Jul 13, 2007)

Thanks!!! That means a lot!
I'm really still a newbie at painting but I really appreciate it! ^^
How would a solid-style look like?...If you know someone, I would also like to take a look XD

Well I have to say your better at semi solid shading than I am. Just look around and you'll find plenty of examples of solid shading. This came out pretty, love the red jacket, the flower and the swirlies. I never would have thought green for the fairy. I think you did good kokumi.

This is my first submission and I don't know how well I'll fair D:
Anyway, I'll accept any kind of feedback so be free to shower me with anger or joy
The background is a failed attempt to draw wood but it makes a nice patter though. :3
I duno how to do a painting style yet so i stuck to cell shading. (is that right?)
Oh, if there are any helpful tips...That is also welcomed :D
The coloring doesn't really make sense but this is my first time so I'll improve. :D

This is really pretty. :) Once you get used to the applet of Lascaux (I hated it at first, but it really is great once it's figured out) - try a smoother colouring style, obviously you have a good grip on the techniques of drawing.

Welcome to 2draw. :D Hope to see more from you, I do love the colour combinations in this. <33

Nice job for a first. You seem to know how to use Oekaki well, and yes Lascaux is the shizzle, it's spoiled me too much to try Shi. Nice lineart and great coloring. I love the highlights in her hair and on her shirt. Welcome aboard Kukomi.
