More tips:

• The closest I could find on Amazon to the watercolour set I use is the Sakura brand of Koi Assorted WaterColours Field Set.
• Just use any old toothbrush. I used to use the ones that my dentist would give me after a visit, just because those were kind of cheap and I wouldn’t actually use them anyways.
• I use acrylic for flicking and highlights because watercolour-whites tend to fade when they dry. 
• Also, remember to keep your hands clean, because nothing’s worse than smudging graphite into your watercolours and then unable to get it out.
• Try to avoid black and white when possible. They tend to dull the colours and it loses that watercolouring lustre. 

Since I started watercolouring again for my daily sketches, I’ve gotten a lot of asks/dA notes on if I could give a tutorial on watercolouring and also more specific questions that overlapped each other, so I decided to do a semi guide/tips/answering thing.

I actually started watercolouring before I went into digital medium, so I have a bit of personal experience, but I am essentially self-taught when it comes to watercolouring since there weren’t a lot of watercolour tutorials online back then to begin with, so I cannot promise that these are the absolute correct way of doing things. 

Hope it helps anyways :)

Guess what, guys - I’m running a four part give away!

I’ve gained an incredible amount of followers recently, and had a whole load of amazing support and lovely messages from people, so as a personal thank you to all of my followers, I’m giving away some of the goodies that I’ve gathered recently. There are four sets to give away, which means there’ll be four lucky winners!

Set One (Brave) includes:

• Six official Pixar postcards with concept art from Brave
• A Brave pencil case and two pencils, which I think was only given away at UK cinemas
• A copy of the Little Golden Book version of the Brave movie (the art in this is gorgeous!)
• A copy of the Brave DVD: this is a region 2 DVD. If the winner is outside of this region, I’ll give this away to a fifth lucky winner and replace it with a hand-drawn, signed Brave sketch.
• An A4 print of any one of my artworks (winner’s choice)
• A selection of random art goodies from me (likely comics, postcards, badges and/or greetings cards)

Set Two (Rise of the Guardians) includes:

• An official, framed set of cells from the Rise of the Guardians movie - certified and limited edition of only 300
• The Rise of the Guardians movie novelisation
• A copy of Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King (book 1 of the Guardians of Childhood). Alternately if the winner already owns this then I’ll replace it with a hand-drawn, signed Rise of the Guardians sketch.
• An A4 print of any one of my artworks (winner’s choice)
• A selection of random art goodies from me (likely comics, postcards, badges and/or greetings cards)

Winners three and four will receive:

• a sketch or simple line art of their choice, which I’ll make into a print and ship to the winner
• any other goodies that I can magic up inbetween now and the end of the give away

I’ll run this until 11:59 PDT June 15th, and then select winners via a random generator website. All followers get an automatic entry to this, and every reblog is an extra entry. (Although please be considerate of your followers and don’t spam their dashboards too much!) You don’t have to be following me to be included, but it sure is nice! :>

I will ship internationally. This giveaway isn’t associated with Tumblr, Pixar, or DreamWorks. Winners will have a week to respond or I’ll pick another one, and give away blogs won’t be counted

Ends June 15th!
