My very first watercolor painting
It's been a while since I posted anything, but now I can finally show you what I've been working on.
Here I present my very first watercolor (fanart) painting of our favorite couple, Oscar and André, a scene from the manga.
I had some difficulties at the beginning, but I quickly got them under control.
Before I started the painting, I familiarized myself with watercolors and looked for many very helpful tips online, which helped me a lot. Thanks to all the people out there who share their knowledge about watercolors, and I can really recommend watching such videos to anyone who wants to start with watercolors.
At first, I had some trouble with the colors because, until then, I had only painted with pencils or acrylics outside of digital drawing, and only once, as a child, had I colored in a pre-made picture without any gradients or anything like that.
I actually didn't realize how different and complex painting with watercolors is, but it was a wonderful experience, and I will definitely paint more pictures like this in the future.
I drew the lines for this picture with pencil, and after the coloring was complete, I colored the lines with felt-tip pens. I plan to try this with watercolors in the future, but it didn't work in my test, so I left it as it was, since I didn't want to ruin the picture.
I also had to cut out the two figures from the original picture because the background was so bad that I couldn't fix it. But I don't mind; now I have a little 3D effect.
I'm very proud of this picture, and since I now know more about watercolors, I'll be able to avoid the mistakes and problems I encountered here in the future.
I've now used this image as the cover for my notebook for ideas for my future Rose of Versailles (Lady Oscar), and I've embellished it with a few roses and Baroque symbols.
