Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Is that a ray gun?

I've been seeing you post here for a while now and I always dig your stuff. I like this one the most so far. Keep it up!

You've done such a good job here, and even more so for a first try - watercolour leaves no room for mistakes.

You've got some good shading in there, which is a very unforgiving, one-way process with watercolours. Great characterisation, pose and expression, too.

Nice work. I'd love to see a graphic novel done entirely in this style.

I'm a sucker for a watercolor. This looks amazing!

[–] TodaviaTyler@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Wow, this is your first try!? This is really good!

Damn!

I was a bit thrown by the coincidence of the adjacent posts in my feed:

Love it, how's it compared to your markers?

Are you considering switching to watercolor? It certainly looks fantastic with your style.

I want to combine them. Markers are bad for large areas because they streak. I may end up digitally combinding watercolor backdrops with marker drawings. Right now I'm just testing out how to watercolor.

Your first try is awesome, it took me a while to get anything remotely close to your shading with watercolor.

I really like the look of this

This is really good. I read a lot of kid's books and always like ones illustrated with watercolor, and this is better than many, many illustrations I see.
