Description Watercolors on A5 sized watercolor paper



I was inspired by one of my oldest pictures ever, wanted to draw Yuna again and used very well-known picture of her. That's such a pretty scene. : )

Btw, I hate it when I do things too small. This is A5 so I had to make it bigger than the actual one on the paper and that isn't good. : / And my scanner still sucks. Now she's learned to scan pictures under 15 minutes though.
And I learned something too - coloring progress of paintings like these is a suicide with solid watercolors.

I'd like to have comments, critique, anything on this piece.
I bashed my head on a brick wall so many times while making this that my IQ is permanetly halved.

WOOOOW! omfg. very close to the real thing, but still keeping to your style. ^^ I love it. I really do. It's very colorful, and you blended colors beautifully.

I'd think that the fayth/souls could use a little more blues/greens in there. :3 But otherwise, its just perfect.

Yay, thanks! : D

I tried applying some green to the pyreflies(I don't know if that'swhat they're called) but the way I made the pyreflies made it impossible. : / The color would've been too dark and dirty. One of the shortcomings of watercolors. : )

you're very welcome. :3

Oh! point. I forget that overlapping colors isnt the same in traditional media. x3 its hard to make things shine with colors aside from white. ;w;

Atmel In reply to owdof [2009-01-05 16:00:01 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, and when the white coulour isn't too covering it's impossible. The water dripping from her hand is the white colour I used. : o

I know! haha~ and it was my brother who suggested that I play again. xD

Aww. Im sad to hear that. ;w; will you ever buy a new one? (or can you have it exchanged?)

Atmel In reply to owdof [2009-01-05 20:10:38 +0000 UTC]

You have brother too? Younger or older?

It wasn't broken when I bought it years ago. And I haven't seen it in the stores for a year. So I'm afraid I can't.
Well, I just go and ring my bros friends doorbells(lol, multi-genetive), one of them oughta have it. ^^

owdof In reply to Atmel [2009-01-06 03:50:28 +0000 UTC]

Yes I do. :3 he's the only boy. Older. ^^

Ooh. ;w; but maybe it's your ps2? maybe it doesnt wanna read the game anymore.
But then again you can always do that. xDD (Yay for brother's friends~)

Atmel In reply to owdof [2009-01-06 12:48:39 +0000 UTC]

You have sisters too? :3
I'm the only girl and my brother is the only boy. xD

It reads other games well and I've borrowed one copy of FFX before. It's the game but it doesn't seem to have taken any damage. Oh well, nothing is forever. : D

owdof In reply to Atmel [2009-01-06 13:35:07 +0000 UTC]

yes. ^^ Im the youngest, actually. 2 older sisters, then my brother, and me! x3
ooh, so you're 4 in the family?

Ah, I see. you're right though. xD some of my games are breaking on me as well. But sometimes I think its my ps2's fault. .-.

Atmel In reply to owdof [2009-01-06 15:56:26 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I have 4-member family. Suprisingly that is bigger than average 3,77 here.
So you're the youngest one. : 3

Sometimes the PS fails, I've noticed. When my PS1 doesn't run the games, I try them on PS2 and usually they work.
I wonder if PS3 could play nearly broken PS2 games? *hopeful*
PS3 is just so pricey. x.x

owdof In reply to Atmel [2009-01-08 12:37:37 +0000 UTC]

Woow. in my country were actually a small family. xD Lots of people have 6+kids.
Yep~ Its nice having older sisters to talk with. hehe. They like talking with me sometimes cause they say im "Wise beyond my years"

Ohhh really? I never knew you could play PS games on the PS2 *^*
Uhmm, I friend of mine has a Ps3, and he says that you can play Ps2 games on the Ps3, but the quality wont be as good as if you played it on the ps2.
It's worth a try! ^^

yeah... D: I'd like one. but they're too expensiiiiive. geh. they're well over 20k in our currency.

Atmel In reply to owdof [2009-01-08 17:04:14 +0000 UTC]

Me and my brother actually talk very little, but we don't need to.(very Finn-like :'D) I sometimes wish I had sisters like you have, but my cousin/best friend is enough for me. : D

Oh, some games like FFVIII don't work on PS2 D: I don't know why.

The cheaper version is 400€/25,000PHP in here. It's not that bad, but I don't feel like putting my money in it.

owdof In reply to Atmel [2009-01-09 07:04:09 +0000 UTC]

Oooh, i seeee. xD Yeah. sometimes you just need friends. (im not very close to my cousins)

ahh. D: hm. I should get my brother to try it out.

urgh. >w< and before it used to be 40k. haha! I guess I'll just wait for the prices to go down more. maybe by like... 5 thousand. or more. xD

Atmel In reply to owdof [2009-01-09 13:36:07 +0000 UTC]

I and my cousin have been friends since she was born and I was 9 months old, so I don't think of her as my cousin anymore. xD

I don't think the price is going to drop any more. The most expensive one (80GB, comes bundled with a game) has already dropped to 389€! It's price has been reduced by 8.5K PHP/135€.

The colours are especially well-matched on this. From the thumbnail, I could not tell if this were the official image or not.

I would kind of like to know why you decided to copy an official image. Was it to work on your painting technique, or what have you? Because I bet you learned a loooot about colour from that!

Atmel In reply to imabubble [2009-01-03 12:38:18 +0000 UTC]

I wanted to practise usage of colors and chose this picture, as colors on this one were quite challenging. : ) I kind of wanted to try new technique too, but it failed.
