☺faces

i have a new scanner! \o/
after four complicated and incredibly frustrating years with my old canon printer-scanner, it finally crapped out on me right before the new semester began. worst timing or perfect timing?? i do not know.
this new scanner is superfast though! it even scans my paintings a million times more vibrant than they actually are! can't really say if this is a good or bad thing yet... :'D

BUT TO CELEBRATE HERE IS SOME ARRRT.
practicing faces and gouache and stuff.


watercolour inks


gouache and black ink
my first attempt at gouache! again! i still have no idea what kind of treatment i should be giving the gouache. still at a trial&error stage. :c
i absolutely do not like how i inked his hair. IT IS TERRIBLE FORGIVE ME.
also, is there a name for oval-shaped eyebrows? I REALLY LIKE THEM. kind of like what Machiko Kyo had in Rashomon?


some wonky eye business there


gouache and black ink
self portrait???as a badassmuthasucka
irl the painting is a lot more sloppy and blotchy. the scanned version has kind of.. hidden all of those flaws. :Y


this is all i have to offer in the meantime.
TIME 2 GET SOME SLEEP.
AND HAPPY NEW YEAR, BLAWG.

    Also what are you using to do the lines? I was using pen nibs and it annoyed me because I wanted lines like this but they failed :O

  2. love the last one!
    i agree with the above; what are you using to make the lines? everything looks perfect!
    i just bought gouache after a long time of avoiding it so i am trying to figure it out too; i just want to keep watering it down and use it as watercolors 6_9
