Pen, coloured pencils and watercolours on pastel paper (hence the texture).

gift art: shiri for mother's day

The paper quality is kind of crappy but this painting was fun to do :)

gift art: iron man

Iron Man watercolour painting for Leonard :)

gift art: little twin stars

This is for my friend Crystal :)

Sigh, my watercolours look way better on paper than they do in scans!

Little Twin Stars (C) Sanrio

the lion and the...

UNICORN!!!!!! :)

... sigh, my colours never come out a hundred per cent right on the screen :/

frustration

The people I draw are usually female or expressionless (most often, both), so for a change I decided to draw this. I have to admit, I'm not wonderful with capturing facial expressions, but I intend to practice lots and get better so my characters don't look so colourless.

oarfish

Scanner quality isn't fantastic, unfortunately :(

Oarfish are one of my favourite sea creatures. I finally finished this after a week, which is a long time for me but it's okay because I know I didn't work on this every day.

pond in rain

It was raining today, so I took a photo and referenced it for this painting...

This is the largest watercolour piece I've done so far (24x32cm). I think it turned out all right! I should do more large paintings. I also have to learn how to make full use of the translucency of watercolour paints. My style is too thick and heavy; I'd like a little more atmosphere and lightness.

Original photo. Yes, I wasn't going for photographic accuracy.
