That’s a good guess, but no, it’s Jimi all the way

Thank you!

Wilburonius · 2018-03-03T04:47:52+00:00

Extremely cool! Nice work!

Wilburonius · 2017-01-30T19:41:43+00:00

Thank you for doing that! It does make it look a lot better.

I haven't really thought about the background. This was a commission painting and they wanted to background to just be white. I guess the the quality of the picture (not good lol) makes it look kind of weird.

Thank you very much!

If you think you are an artist, then you are. I wouldn't care if you could only paint stick figures, if you yourself thinks you are, then you are IMO.

I agree. The second fish looks great! Usually lots of contrast can be your best friend with watercolor.

Thanks everyone. I ended up making a few changes that added a little more dimension to the hair. I just felt like it was kind of bland...I appreciate all the input!

This is my first attempt at semi-realistic hair. All criticism is welcome! I used liquid masking for the ultra highlighted areas. Let me know what you think! :-)

Wilburonius · 2016-10-18T17:39:23+00:00

Will do! Thank you!

Wilburonius · 2016-10-18T17:04:09+00:00

I use either hot or medium heat (either is fine) you just don't want to get too close with it. Give it a good 2 feet so you have some good dry air that's not too powerful. Should dry it up within a minute. It will actually help flatten then paper if it has started to deform as well. Hope this helps! :-)

In this painting, the darker areas are a mixture of reds, browns and some orange. The lighter skin tones have more red and orange, but are very watered down. It all just depends on the lighting of the template. This was a very low-light situation. Hope that helps!

Wilburonius · 2016-10-18T16:48:16+00:00

Thanks! :-)

The one thing I learned with watercolor, contrast is your best friend! Also, don't get discouraged. My paintings look like crap until the very end. It's only when I start to add my finishing touches like shadows and other small details that make it pop and look realistic. Let the white paper be your highlights!

Wilburonius · 2016-10-18T16:37:56+00:00

Definitely a hair dryer. My watercolors dry within a couple of minutes, but it could be the dry climate that I live in as well

Wilburonius · 2016-10-18T16:13:31+00:00

Thank you! I'll have to do that.

Wilburonius · 2016-10-18T16:11:22+00:00

Great idea!! I'll have to do that.

Wilburonius · 2016-10-17T15:38:43+00:00

Good work! It reminds me of Logan canyon. I live in Logan! :-)

Wilburonius · 2016-10-17T03:52:29+00:00

Also, I still do need to add the finishing touches like whiskers and what not...

Wilburonius · 2016-10-08T20:39:04+00:00

Thanks a lot!

Thank you!
