Watercolor Tutorialby ~Vassantha

DescriptionDetailsShare

I was testing my new camera when I had the idea of taking photos of a few steps of my current drawing ^^. And here it is!
This isn't a real tutorial because I'm not a professional artist, it's just to show how I proceed. So if you have any ideas about how I could progress, it would be very helpful :).
And please excuse my English too, it isn't my native language (that's the first time I type such a long text in English o_o).

Very nice, thanks you answered a lot of my questions. Your English is much better than most native speakers/writers.

Lovely drawing~
So do you wet the paper or the colors itself...or both? i'm confused :/

Thank you ^^.
In fact I do both, sorry if it was confusing ^^;.
Wetting the paper allows you to apply the watercolour in an homogeneous way, while wetting the colors allows you to adjust its tone (the more water you add, the lighter it will be) :).

Of course it's okay, it depends on your tastes ^^.
Personally, I don't wet the paint a lot (except for very large areas).
