I wanted to draw something to test new supplies: both my new watercolours, and a new brand of watercolour paper.
Verdict: Winsor-Newton watercolours are great, though harder to use than my old ones because they dry much faster. The colours are gorgeous, bright and saturated, and I think I'm going to have much fun with those. As for the paper, it gives a very beautiful blending with markers... but a bit too much, the colours tend to bleed.

As for the picture in itself, I drew what first came to my mind, to be honest. I just tried something really fantasy-inspired, different from what I usually do, just for fun.


Don't even get me started about everything that I dislike about the result: I really don't like it much. It lacks depth, contrast, shadows, shapes, plausible pose and I don't know what else.
I do like her face, though, I tried to make a face a liiiiittle bit different from the regular faces I do and I'm happy with the result.

While I don't usually sell originals, I'm willing to sell this one if anyone's interested - there might be people who actually appreciate this picture more than I do. All the information will be posted in my journal.


I'm turning critique off because I already see so much myself that could be done better that I don't think it's worth much more investigation.
