If any of you ever want to learn to draw simple animals, I cannot recommend Les Animaux tels qu'ils sont (1930) by Lambry enough. It’s in french, but the steps are pretty straight-forward and make for great doodles.
There are simple ones..
and some that are a little more intimidating..
I personally enjoy the frogs.
but plenty others to choose from, like elephants, giraffes, gators, bugs, birds, cats, dogs, you name it. Happy drawing!
I’m trying to photograph birds. And it’s not easy.
It snowed for the first time today:
Elles sont toutes magnifiques ! Bravo pour ces photos *-*

Draw it again challenge with a very old OC ! x)
The challenge for this one was to draw something with a green predominance. x)
End of the update ! x)
Little update before starting another drawing ! For this one, I tried the negative watercolor technique for the clouds
Do you have any tips on how to make color schemes and color themes for art? Your colors always seem to blend together really beautifully. I hope someday my coloring skills will be as awesome as yours!
Thank you!! So first off I wanna recommend [Coolors] for general colour schemes like for clothing and such. It’s super easy to use and can give you some really pleasing palettes. (especially for limited palette pieces!)
Now quick tutorial time! Now you’ve most definitely heard this before, but: colour is relative! A lot of times, especially when drawing fanart, people tend to just stick to canon colours as a base and add shading. There’s nothing wrong with doing this, but adding environmental lighting can create a unique atmosphere.
Environmental light changes the hues of the entire subject. Now you may think “Their hair isn’t that colour!” or “Skin isn’t blue/green/etc.!” If you think of the colour isolated from everything, yeah, skin isn’t blue, but relative to the the rest of the colours it fits. What I like to call “situational light” is a little different. It has to do with the colour and intensity of your light source, and is usually added in addition to whatever environmental colours you’ve put down. (In the example above, I’ve taken the cool base and added a warm light)
Using layer effects like overlay and multiply can really help you find which colours match your temperature, but in general you want to keep your warm and cool hues in the same spectrum of each colour rather than opposite ones.
Also here’s a quick little cheat-sheet for certain colours that can really make a piece pop! Obviously these depend on your lighting but in my experience they should help ya out. ;)
There’s probably a bunch more tutorials that go more in-dept into colour theory and all that but I hope this helped a bit!
Great tuto, I have to try it soon !
Do you have any advice on mixing skin tones with the cotman watercolor sets?
Here’s a few skin tone mixtures using primary colours as well as purple and indigo. It’s mainly knowing the amount of colours to mix in order to get the tone you desire. So try to play around with the amount of paint you add and note what colours you’ll get using the mixtures. Hope this helps!!
Very helpful *^*
