Hiiiiiiii!!! I personally love watercolors but definitely understand your struggles so i thought I'd give you a few tips!! 1) Always use waterproof pens for your fineliners; non-waterproof ones will bleed and make your colors muddy 2) Always use paper designed for watercolors; will help with less streakiness, better colors, and your paper won't rip 3) Don't be afraid to use more water! Your colors seemed pretty dry when you were painting them 4) Try out wet surface painting for gradients!! Paint water on the paper and then paint on top of that; the colors will react very differently and it's super fun! 5) Don't use white to lighten your paints; it will make them muddy! Instead, just add more water to dilute your paint I hope that helps a little and good luck!!!! Hopefully this didn't come across as know-it-all vibes; I just want to help if I can! Looking forward to your next video!!! ❤
Ayo that’s actually really nice! The shading is really well done and I actually love the textured background it just gives it that beautiful traditional art feel! 👌 Also don’t give up on watercolour! I know if you practise well enough you’ll be able to create some wonderful paintings! I had a very Similar experience like you and now watercolour is pretty much the only medium I use lol.
i wouldn't recommend using the white paint unless you know what your doing, especially to lighten colour when mixing since more water does the same but a lot cleaner also think part the reason why colours look muddy is that your not using enough water. anyways your arts really cute, i want to pet chuuya so bad (maybe that why dazai calls him his dog)
I fucking suck with watercolor and yet I love it so much for some reason I cannot explain. Edit: The colors might look muddy because you're only using 1 cup of water.
I just made bsd wan Chuuya he might need some color but it looks so cute because it’s Chuuya but also it was from the elevator episode. Also I have two Chuuya drawings now I need more because Chuuya is superior!
Watercolour paints are often used for under toning it base coats, not for details. I would use a mix of medians by using watercolour to lay the solid colours and shadows down, and then go in with coloured pencils or other fine medians. Or just don’t listen to me, I am just blabbing with basically no art talent :,)
I almost never use whater colours and i dont reallly like using colours on my art because it looks like crap after i do the outline, and why do you keep sayig that your art is bad its literally better more than ten times than mine.... give me your artstyle 😭😭
I may be late but your watercolours are coming out muddy because of the graphite in the pencils so what you can do (if you want) is to erase the pencil lines and trace it over with a marker or something, wait for that to dry and then paint over it with the watercolour- that's what i do😅
o yo that’s a mistake on my part thanks for commenting 💀💀 it’s supposed to be today HELP 😭😭😭 im super happy you set an alarm for it anyways though!! honoured 🫣🫣

mezmerizer dazai?? gotta show my simp sister for isagi this!!
With watercolor the ratio of paint and water matters, equal parts paint and water usually gets you more opaque colors
I mostly use colour pencils and markers but when I tested water colour I hated it it's so much harder anyway love the vid ❤😊
you're fine with watercolor, as long as u know color theory and light source
edit; I love watercolor c:
this art is awesome Nian!
Don’t worry I suck even more fr😭
I hate when watercolour break my paper and my art😭😭
Idk but I think that tbh water coulors are rly good cuz like Uk they work smoothly but evryone has a diff medium!
