And I also have to say I really love the way you get such beautiful color gradients in your watercolour work, you just amaze me! I really love the detail, pose, color, the really great glitter pen details you added and the way it shines when it catches the light just so. I just love this so much!!
The gradients is all about how much water you slosh on with the brush and trying not to let anything dry out at an edge. But even then, you learn how to recover things. I think this is the first time I've gotten hair done right with all the detail! I'm trying out using Biro rather than pen, and while it goes against the grain to use a black pen the finesse it gives me is nice. If only it wouldn't keep blotching! The pose was reference as I told you (it was the only thing I found that inspired me - I didn't want to do a carbon copy of your original pic, and I couldn't find a nice sitting pose, and then I found this). Colour is my strongest point, I think, though it was a challenge to get all those colours from my very limited set. (And really - it wouldn't be me if it didn't have some sparkle in it. You know I'm a magpie.)
But yeah, I'm really really glad you like it. It's one of the best things I've done for a while (I know that's not saying much given how little I've made recently) so I'm happy.
(Yes I am still up and awake. I'm still working on the composition's associated work. *sobs*)
