How the heck do you link those two together? Just... what. LET'S DRAW MORE HORSES!! The Eevees are super cute! Are you playing Pokémon Go, by any chance? Sometimes I don't understand her myself. But I am branching out and getting advice, critiques, and stuff from others now. And of course playing Pokemon Go! My kiddo would never forgive if we didn't after waiting for it for so long. xD lol I have to make him a Pikachu birthday cake Saturday for his birthday. I think it's just going to be his simple cute face on a round cake. 2 Quote Rising Heroes Faction: HAVIK Fitbit | Art Page | Instagram Link to comment

Why yes, I accept! =P Yeah I've come across this attitude before, teachers saying girls can't draw horses without being overly emotional etc. I say BALLS. And also, who cares? Horses are great, so there! I really wish I could go to life drawing classes but instead of a naked person there'd be a horse 1 Quote Current Challenge Link to comment

Akura Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 Here is a self-portrait. I lost some weight since I drew this. (Yay!) During m next vacation I want to draw a comic I've written. But I'm always better at planning than the actual doing. 6 Quote The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way. Instagram food log Link to comment

ThisMissisup2nogood Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 @LadyGrey your Pokemon studies are adorable. All my Pokémon need to be pirates from now on. Horses are awesome for art studies! Drawing a convincing horse takes a good eye for shapes, angles, shading, and textures. 3 Quote Link to comment

I've never tried gouache, what's it like? Thank you! Well, the way I experience it, gouache colours are very much like watercolours, but they have more pigment. As in, they're not as transparent as watercolours. I love using them for this sort of dry painting where I just want to have a character in focus. 3 Quote -:*~ Journal ~*:- Link to comment

I follow this artist on facebook, James Gurney, who uses gouache lots too, seems like you can get pretty nice results with it. 2 Quote Current Challenge Link to comment

It was really fun I was a little worried about the mountains when I put them in - they detract from the animals a bit - but I think I'm ok with them now. Would've been empty otherwise.

LadyGrey Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 @Owlet your work is just beautiful! Here is a watercolor/oil pastel I played with. Apparently a lot of my friends and family like it, but I'm too critical of myself. It's not loose like I want it to be. practice practice practice! 2 Quote Rising Heroes Faction: HAVIK Fitbit | Art Page | Instagram Link to comment
