I've actually started to detest cg-coloured pics. They usually look way too clean and plastic (because people understand way too little different shades and textures etc). Sooo! I've totally fallen in love with watercolours, because only a two months back did I really understand how they work ^^. So bear with me, these are just the first complete works I've done in watercolours, I'll hope to post more once I develop a bit more ~  A miko for a certain Christmas calendar thingie, completely in watercolours (minor effects in white ink). It's a full A4 in size, too bad the paper was some crappy printer paper so it got pretty badly wrinkled (first I inked the lineart and then took a photocopy of it, but didn't remember to put some decent paper into the machine..).  Christmas card for my school. Watercolours, white gel pen. I don't know who looks hungrier, she or the bunnies. (never trust a white rabbit!!!). Size A5.  ^ please click on the pic to get to the BIG version of it. This was THE piece during which I began to understand how them watercolours work. Same media as above, the characters stand about 9 inches each.

Hehe, I'll have to agree with you on the cg-coloured pics... when done badly, they tend to look, well, bad xd But same goes for all mediums.
o_o You must teach me how to do this (I kid, I kid). The watercolour colouring makes the pictures look absolutely wonderful. I especially love the bunnies in the second picture because they look so darn curious. The character designs in "Watashitachi" ("We", if I'm not mistaken) are also fun.

The "watashitachi" thing was actually a part of my arts diploma (a kind of high school level exam of arts). It's called "Human Zoo" (rough translation), a box in which I wanted to show different kinds of people I see in my everyday life smile (aaargh, it's so hard to explain!!)

Every time I try water colors, they turn out to be sucky. Do you use the basic crayola ones, or ones that come tubes like acrylics or oils would?
I love using watercolors, I just really don't know how. crying

Even thought the CG looks really neat, the water colors give your art a special and wonderful flavor that I just adore! They look so life like and expressive!

I like your watercolors (I can't use watercolors at all and I understand how they work, too sweatdrop ) So, yeah, if I had to rate how well it was done, I would have to say a 9 (* I don't rate much higher than a nine).

waichin88 really nice colouring. I never really tried water colours. I only did it once and I don't get gow to make some parts darker. Do you go over the part again? Yup! Like, at least 10 times xD. First I take really light shades, then add a bit more of the colour pigment and go over that previous area. Action repeted n times smile . And dark colours are really hard! They're always the last thing I do and still I end up messing everything up. Quote: Every time I try water colors, they turn out to be sucky. Do you use the basic crayola ones, or ones that come tubes like acrylics or oils would? I think the brand's called "Daler~Rowney", and my set has 12 colour buttons ._.''. I just found them in my mum' closet one day and confiscated them biggrin . I also got as a Christmas present from my friend a set of watercolours in tubes, but I haven't used them at all yet, because... I don't know how to!! Quote: How long did these take you???? I'm a sucker at drawing so the sketching and inking process usually takes so much longer sad . The colouring, then.. mmm, I'd say from 2 to 4 hours.

Noanoa I think the brand's called "Daler~Rowney", and my set has 12 colour buttons ._.''. I just found them in my mum' closet one day and confiscated them biggrin . I also got as a Christmas present from my friend a set of watercolours in tubes, but I haven't used them at all yet, because... I don't know how to!! I absolutely adore Traditional Media...watercolors are one of my favorites. I don't have a whole lot of practice doing them yet; I make better money with markers. In particular, I use guache, which is an opaque type of watercolor, but you can thin it out to be transparent. For tube watercolors, what I like to do to get the proper consistency is to put dabs of my colors into a color tray, and do whatever blending I need in separate holes. Then I like to let 'em dry out, because they become like the color buttons in regular watercolor sets. The main reason I like tube paint is that a little goes a long way and it's SOOO much easier to mix colors. You just want to mix them while they're still fresh out of the tube.

Nice picture! I love watercolours too. Watercolours also look great with pen and ink designs. For those who say they don't know how to use watercolours, try using watercolour pencils to colour your work and then use your damp brush over the top of the colours after you are done. Don't want to ruin your awesome black and white original? Try photocopying it on quality paper and use photo quality copies to paint over. You'll have to use a heavier paper because it is watercolour after all, even if it is pencils. Try it. After you have a go at it, you will begin to see how watercolours interact with each other and be able to graduate to the real deal. wink
