I used to hate paint. Especially watercolor. It was finicky and time-consuming and messy. Now that I know how to fix my mistakes without wrecking the painting, find it relaxing to sit back and paint, and have somehow gotten less clumsy since high school, it's my favorite. Thing. EVAR. Consequently, I'm spending less time on digital art. >>

I'm painting a portrait of Bailey. It looks better than any Photoshop doodle or sketch of her I've done so far. I even have a decent skin tone (although, admittedly, I need more practice with getting skin tones. I'll learn that eventually in my class).

I'll do one of Ace and Darryl as well, I think, and scrap all the sketches once I post those here. Maybe I'll try my hand at a background, too.

Speaking of my class, I'm doing a pen-and-ink now. I've finished the ink part, then I'm gonna do a watercolor wash. Teacher says it's gonna blow the admissions people away when they see my 'folio. <3

He also says I ought to get digital copies of my Obligatory Fruit Bowl Painting done. S'ose I ought to get on that soon, particularly since my scanner's not big enough for my watercolors (the painting of Bailey is just from one of my 140 lb pages chopped into quarters).
