Artist's Comments

I didn't know whether to put this in drawings or paintings. Because I drew it, but then I painted it :lmao:

Pencil and watercolors and a little Photoshop touching up.

Unfortunately, even Photoshop could not bring back to life what the scanner killed. :crying: If only I could post this in its full glory. I'm so happy with it!

Hit download if the fullview won't show. dA is being a butt again...

That is a pretty design on Zelda. Also: Will a camera catch some of the details? You might try merging them that way.

I thought about that. I'll wait until I can get some better lighting than my lamp in the dead of night and try that. :lol:

Tis awesome! Watercolours are a difficult biznatch to control sometimes, but you did an amazing job. XD
I love the gold details especially.

You captured a more mature side of Zelda, and i like it because of that.

I'm doing a watercolour painting on canvas atm... and the paint often just pools, which is kinda annoying, but i'm managing. XD

Thank yoooou~~ I'm really proud of this. ;w; The gold was fun! It's actually some yellow and brown watercolor mixed with metallic white acrylic.

Watercolors are indeed very difficult! But I've found them to be a lot more forgiving than oils or acrylics.

I've only been using them for a couple of weeks now, but I've learned that keeping lots of paper towels, especially damp ones, on hand is the best way to catch mistakes. Also keep lots of test paper around to use every time you dip your brush in paint or water, just to make sure it's not gonna go BLOOOOORRRPP all over everything.

Oh my GOSH this is awesomely awesome. The detail on the dress is amazing, and the tone is awesome too. Also, the little birdy is cute. :3
