I HOPE MY HANDWRITING IS AT LEAST SOMEWHAT READABLE .... ididn't realize until later how B AD it is x'D i wonder which one of my last two brain cells in my bird brain thought writing it out by hand would be a good idea, hmmm.... So, hopefully this is somewhat helpful! disclaimer, im a completely self taught artist though, so i may be wrong about some things. Leave a comment if you think something is wrong! and of course its not evvverything i know, but i feel it's already too long and hard to read, so i didn't add a lot of stuff...i might make another one of these in the future, idk. depends on the response that this one gets ig. ANYWAY this is basically a thank you for 120+!!!! ILYall, you're all such kind people <3 I kinda grew up on this website, and honestly, its been a pretty good experience. I've been floating around on this website for.....quite a while. like, 4 or 5 years lol. *cough* cept the time when uh *coughcough* scratch banned me, and wouldn't listen that it wasn't my fault *cough* but its been over a year and a half lmao, whatever. (and idk, they unbanned my ip for somereason) but point is, y'know, thanks for 300+ on @Greenbirds :3 dont worry, ill shut up now.
edit: if i ever said something abt 'buying more expensive watercolors/gouache is essential' then u have permission to slap me idk what i was thinking. OF COURSE U CAN USE AN 8 DOLLAR SET OF WATERCOLORS AND MAKE A MASTERPIECE!!! i think i personally use those two mediums a lot so i could finally start to see the difference in quality? nonetheless, sorry! music: verzache - Juvenescence verzache - waiting for u artists showed/mentioned 'n where to find them: https://www.bobross.com/ (bob ross my friend) https://www.deviantart.com/tamaytka (tamaytka) http://www.shadowscapes.com/ (stephanie pui-mun law) https://www.kimjunggius.com/ (kim jung gi) https://pixelp.me/ (pixelp/pchan) http://www.artnet.com/artists/malcolm-liepke/ (malcolm liepke) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Booth (franklin booth) http://pintorsalazar.blogspot.com/p/clases-de-pintura.html (Salazar) https://www.celialowenthal.com/ (celia lowenthal) https://www.studioghibli.com.au/ (ghibli (spirited away & grave of the fireflies)) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_de_Toulouse-Lautrec (Henri de Toulouse Lautrec) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Picasso (pablo picasso) +gonna dump some sources, check 'em out!+ -here's some helpful stuff about reflective light: Vvv https://www.deviantart.com/artbyriana/art/Why-shadows-aren-t-gray-321656856 - -composition help!
