Artist's Comments

So I'm still working on my watercoloring. I'm still learning, still gaining confidence using this media. I like how it forces me to not rely so heavily on the "undo" button, haha. *shakes fist @ Photoshop*

This is a piece I finished last night of the very lovely Angela Ryan:

Another thing working with watercolors has forced me to do is work bigger. Most of my illustrations are under 11x17" size. This one is 9x12" but it feels like i crammed it in there. All part of the learning process i suppose.

Peace&rum,
--->Amano

Beautiful, lovely over the shoulder glance, and again the watercolor lends a nice feminine softness.

You're really good with watercolors. The skin, for example: I can't even tell watercolors were used, it's so subtle. Very nice! :nod:

You have to thank Angela for the great reference... I just did my best not to dishonor her awesomeness! ^_^
