Any artists out there?

[EEforMe]

My biggest tip is buy good paper - 100% cotton and 140lb+ and tape on all sides (or buy a watercolor paper block). The quality of the watercolors isn't as important as the paper, but better quality watercolors contain more pigment so you don't have to apply as many layers to get dark colors. Like @Chicken poppy, I also start light and apply darker thin layers on top to achieve depth.

Thanks! I think I better invest in some better paper

What the heck, Dropspring? Which version am I supposed to draw? Is your fur thin or thick? This seems contradictory.
For context I reread The Tribe of Gathering Storms rp and it turns out I still love him, bro is relateable.
I’m guessing that “Drops” is just the malnourished version of “Dropspring.”
Reading the rp was funny because I explicitly said he was kind of ugly but the female cats fawned over him anyway. He did enjoy the attention though.

I also think that when I start rping and getting a feel for the character I often contradict the sheet.
Personality: Yes.

I lost this thread for a bit but I found it ! I am currently trying to work on an acrylic painting (on a large piece of paper) of my opal legbar, Astrid! This is my first time painting with acrylic in years, and my first time trying to paint realistically

I turned Ice into a blue mackerel tabby point instead of just a blue mackerel tabby because it made sense with her blue eyes
I also made a meme

Spoiler: Meme that makes no sense out of context
