Characters: Remus Lupin

AWW. Little Remus is ADORABLE. :D


re: watercolors -- have you been using tube paint or paint in pans?

heehee. He might be my fave to draw.

re: watercolor. I've been using the cheapest tube paints. I think my difficulties are equally that 1) I don't know what I'm doing 2) I'm a perfectionist 3) cheap paint? and 4) cheaper brushes.

On the other hand, I really really like pencil. I can take it anywhere, and it generates a whole lot less mess.

Ha!
That ruins my theory, then -- I was actually going to suggest that you use some really cheap paints, because they're usually very watery & actually help novices to get that watercolor look. Hmm!

I don't think you should be discouraged though. I'm really impressed by your painting skills & style.

Aww, cute. I like the fairy lights around the Christmas tree.

Thanky. I wanted to add something overtly magical to the scene, and they were the first things that came to mind.

Ah! stupid cute!

As in, he's so cute, it makes me stupid! :)

I want to pinch his chubby cheeks! G*d Kris, you're making me want to pick up my pencils again and throw my art up in the old LJ, but I'll restrain myself. :)

Dude, you definitely should. If I have the gaul to show off my amateurish stuff... I bet yours are lovely! For me, anyway, drawing comes a whole lot easier than writing. Especially now, when everything I write is wretched.

hehe. Grazi. They were my nod to the fact that at least one of his parents is a wizard.
