Description
Soooo~This is my first foray into watercolors and markers since 20 years ago.
I'm gonna let that sink in for a moment *ahem* ANYWAY~
It feels really nice to put brushes on paper again, I honestly forgot how it feels.
Almost would call it 'magical', but hey this is a start, so HOPEFULLY in a few months I'll be able
to control (or rather 'flow'?) more naturally with the brushes.
This piece is a mix of watercolor, inks and color markers.
Originally was a unicorn which evolved into a Hippocampus
Honestly still just experimenting, learning and most importantly; having fun with it

I like the overall blue scheme, and I really like the blue background; subtle but it has good texture. The cloven hooves look good, too

It is, it's a mix of ink, watercolor AND marker.
But I shall endeavor to have equally nice brush-work in the future :3

You just need a breather, break out of monotony, trust me, you're in a bad rut without knowing it.

*old man squinty eyes* You must learn to control the flow in your life and your brush grasshopper! XD
Seriously, it looks damned good for not having touched it in 20 something years! I can't wait to see how awesome they look once you're back into your groove!

Not bad for a first try in years, in my opinion.Β I used to do stuff like this too.Β Funny how you walk away from it for a while and then miss it and go back to it.Β I'm interested in how more of your copic marker pieces go, too.

Haha, thank you. Yeah it felt a bit weird at first, I just kept thinking 'omg what am I doing, what is this? AAAUUGH'
