I FAIL at Watercolors

Description

This originally started out pretty decent, of Goten with Goku's hairstyle, but then I applied watercolors and realized to my dismay that it painted over my line art (I at least thought it'd be translicent), so I lost all the line art on his face, including his eye boundaries, etc. I had to make educated guesses as to where to shade, and in th eend it came out ok I guess... like... if it were an art school test I'd prolly get by with a 60% on the test. I have realized that watercolors are NOT MY THING. I am terribl at watercolors! No more watercolors! Never again! At least, not when it deals with line art too.

Don't even get me started on the coloring. It started out great until I realized that it was too dark. I guess i mean, when working with it, everything seemed lighter than the background base I had painted... but after standing back and looking at it, I realized it was light beyond repair. Not even photoshop could fix it. Ah bah... I consider this a failed piece anyway, so I won't be too picky about the brightness.

Aww...it's not so bad! What I've heard is to take the pencil sketch and THEN watercolor and THEN ink it afterwords. :P At least there's one think I learned in that god awful art class...
