Feeling Bright Tonight

Description

I attempted to draw something that was not yaoi for once. No wonder I feel a little empty inside. I drew this picture on a 2.5' x 1.3' mat board with watercolor, colored pencils, permanent marker, white-out, and orange/blue highlighter in my friend Stephanie's dorm room. I gave her a lot of mat board, and I had to get rid of it somehow.

This was the first time using watercolor on mat board. My friend Rori was like, "Instead of painting it one small stroke at a time, just get a big batch of it, and put it on there." I was like, "You are right!" so I mixed a whole bunch of watercolors together into a big bowl of water and splashed it all over the matboard. She screamed, "NOT LIKE THAT!" and I was like, "Shut up woman; I know what I'm doing!" -And SURE ENOUGH. I didn't. Haha. Watercolor noob!

Edited in Photoshop! Why is part of her hair purple?! GAHHHH! Now to do some unethical Medical Terminology! Everyone get your Mothers Day contest entries in! *shakes fist*

It feel good knowing you spent 11.5 hours on excruciating art detail instead of doing your homework! Thank-you!

Since you always tell me to darken my pictures...BRIGHTEN THIS PICTURE

luckylace222 on May 20, 2012, 6:45:05 AM

GOD DANG IT WOMAN FINE

*does it* Do you see the difference yet?

MadamePenguin on May 20, 2012, 6:51:56 AM

Not really...but just say that you kept it dark to give it an antique look or something I guess.

luckylace222 on May 20, 2012, 7:15:10 AM

-But I did not meant it hat way-- *cries* Okay, I increased the brightness again. If you do not see it now, it will probably just take a day. P;

MadamePenguin on May 20, 2012, 7:18:24 AM

I can see a bit more brightness and it's a improvement

It took a long time- I can do that smooth skin color because the original mat board was tan already- I believe. ...Or maybe it was blue. Now I am confused.

It is mat bard! It is always nice, textured, and smooth! people should draw on mat board more!! I suppose it works well with colored pencils...not sure about other mediums. I heard using acrylic on mat board just fades away after a while. HMMM

Anyways, OHOHOOO no, you are certainly NOT a watercolor noob! I notice from the way you color your pictures so simple without random drops and messiness everywhere that you are improving your water coloring skills (fast maybe? I will have to see more)! You should make a tutorial on how you watercolor so cleanly and what type of techniques/brushes you use!

WHOA! Photofiltre is another free CG program! Wow, they just come out all at once- I only heard about them every once in a while when someone uses them. ;-; Is it a good program?

-Then you are good at making all that messy watercolor look neat with CG! YEAH!

kylaVegeta on May 15, 2012, 5:37:21 PM

How are you so amazing with detail!? This looks so amazing.

luckylace222 on May 15, 2012, 11:23:16 PM

Thank-you! HEY HEY HEY. MAKE MORE OF YOUR GOD DANG COMIC. I need to know when they are start making out- I mean building their romantic atmosphere!

kylaVegeta on May 16, 2012, 4:34:09 AM

Yes ma'mm! I shall work on it now. Oh my hummm I would say we can feel some of the romantic atmosphere in chapter 4. We can feel it but not them I think is a good way to describe it. XD

luckylace222 on May 16, 2012, 8:59:16 AM

Stop playing games with my head!!!

kylaVegeta on May 16, 2012, 3:04:21 PM

Sorry I must have been getting used to trolling people with future drama. XD

Than-you so much for your super spastic-awesome comment Lizzy!- I think you area Lizzy1 Wait, your font is red- indeed, you are Lizzy!

Yes, my friend Stephanie and Rori were coaching me on how to get this to look right (that is what happens when you draw in a cramped dorm room). It is so good to have spartan artist friends. *tears of pain*

I AM SURE YOU HAVE AN EVEN SEXIER NOSE Lizzy! Thanks a lot for the comment!

This is really pretty :D
And I love that there's a little bit of purple in there (it's my favorite color! ♪) and that it mixes in with the colors! ♥

luckylace222 on May 15, 2012, 1:35:05 PM

IT DOES?! Oh- I mean, yep! I meant to do that! *animated sweat wipe from forehead*

Thanks a lot!

CreamandPoppufan166 on May 16, 2012, 9:21:29 AM

She is lovely... She seems very fantasy, to me. Not in a sparkles-and-joy way, but in sort of an old-fashioned fairytale way...

luckylace222 on May 16, 2012, 2:59:45 AM

Thank-you!
