Artist's Comments

:D
I wanted to show you the step by step process of a watercolor painting. Prismacolor pencils were used as well!:heart:

About half a roll of artist tape was gone though with this tutorial, because I had to keep scanning it in as I went. Watercolor paper buckles if you don't keep it strapped down onto a hard surface.

If you have any questions please ask! Enjoy! :peace:

This will help a lot, thanks for making it! But can I ask - it\'s probably a dumb question, as I probably should have it guessed, but what do you use for the details in Step 4? Watercolor paint or pencils?

What a helpful tutorial! (Interesting subject matter as well.) It\'s always nice to see other people\'s techniques I think :)

Now if I could just be bothered to apply those techniques instead of rushing into painting with too much enthusiasm...:lol: My worst crime is never taping the paper. I don\'t have anywhere to tape it to :(
:iconelvendeathmarch:
I didn\'t know I was supposed to tape it down. Thanks. :D Is there a certain kind of tape to use?

Wow cool! :D I love tutorials :lol: But like the people commenting before me, I have nothing to tape my papers down with/to :(

And I'd like to mention you draw the prettiest shoulders :)

Hey thanks for asking-have you ever heard of artist tape? It's a clean release tape-so you won't tear your paper-that you can get at hobby lobby or even hardware stores. Mine is blue in color. :heart: I used it also to paint my brother's room, it's really awesome :D :D :D

Woot! :D Tutorials take so much time, but they're worth it!
Ok go to your local crafts store-mine is hobby lobby-and you'll find artists tape. It's usually blue in color, and it won't tear your paper when you pull it loose. OMG I did that once-tore my paper-because I used some crap tape. Go the safe route and save yourself some trouble :D

Awesome-I'm super glad I could help to inspire! :D
I used watercolors with a round brush on the background for the details. ^^ There is no such thing as a dumb question! XD

Colored pencils are super fun with watercolors-try it out sometime!
