@evelyn I really like the look of it and mostly the colours! When just starting with watercolor I would recommend practicing with how much water to add to paint and when it’s safe to work on your painting when it’s still wet. Because when watercolor dries it goes through this annoying phase where everything you add just creates weird spots. But…[Read more]

This is such a good idea! I have an art journaling bible but it’s paper is so thin that I don’t feel comfortable using the paints I want in it. But maybe I’ll give it a try on good old watercolor paper.
@the-fledgling-artist Your trees are so good!
@eden-anderson That’s really beautifull in it’s simplicity <3

Hi there everyone! I just got added to the guild and am super excited to be part of a writing group! I mainly write fantasy and have written sci-fi and dystopian in the past. I’d also like to try historical fiction some day (:

@the-fledgling-artist I love the way you draw faces and expressions. Also, your gouache painting looks really great! I feel her arms are a little to big and her feet a little to small, but this could just be your style. Also, did I mention I like the way you draw faces (because I really, really, do). The wolves look super cute btw. I think the way…[Read more]

@itisastarrynight I’ve never critiqued anyone’s works so this is quite the honour haha.
First of all I really like your style! The characters are fun to look at, your linework is stunning and I love the way you draw eyes! I also really like the combination of colours of the blue girl holding the bouquet. I think the watercolor portraits without…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic Animal POV Fiction? in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago
@duskflower I used to love animal fiction as a child, but I strangely never read books like that now that I’m an adult. Even though I really enjoy movies from an animal point of view. I might like to read some of those books you mentioned and maybe even try to write something similliar. I don’t know why I haven’t thought of that before haha. Your…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist You two are sisters? You must have so much fun drawing together!
I was a little intimidated by oils at first. But using them is quite easy! I like how slow the drying time is, so blending isn’t a problem compared to acrylics. The thing that I don’t like is that you have to use toxic solvents to thin the paint, like…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist Don’t you dare apologize haha, I like talking to you! Ballpoint pen is so lovely too! I’ve seen people create some amazing things with it. I don’t think I have a least favorite medium though… Well, I did try oil pastels (they’re basically buttery unblendable crayons) and it was a complete disaster. Tried it again a few days…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist My favorite medium is definitely watercolour! It’s my favorite one to work with and the finished look of it is just super pretty. But I also enjoy oils, acrylics, soft pastels, digital art. color pencil, ink and ofcourse the classic grey pencil for sketching. I basically like everything haha. Do you have a favorite?

Lin replied to the topic Any Gouache experts out there? in the forum Art Discussions 7 years, 6 months ago
@the-fledgling-artist Thank you (: I’ve been playing around with gouache for about a year and a half. But I did take huge breaks inbetween as I was struggling so much with it that I didn’t enjoy using it anymore. Last summer I decided to give it a try once again and I think I’ve finally gotten the hang of it!

@the-fledgling-artist That’s such a fun present! I have to admit that I still struggle with gouache myself, but there are many tutorials on youtube! That best thing you can do is use them like watercolors but go from thin to thick paint like you would do with acrylic. Also gouache always dries darker compared to what the colour looks like when it…[Read more]

@chalice I LOVE IT! Lea looks great in your style! I like the way you draw eyes, reminds me of the classic Disney style they used in Snow White or Cinderella. Thank you for drawing her! (:
