I went to the botanic gardens the other day and saw this really pretty rose bush, so here it is in watercolor

A watercolor painting of a rosebush. The roses are a full yellow orange. There is one main rose on the bush in full bloom and the others in the background are out of focus. The background is vaguely reminiscent of a bush full of leaves. Further still is a light blue background

I recently saw some YouTube videos by Don Andrews on painting skin in watercolor. He uses a cool wash and then goes over it wet into wet to paint the warm skin tones. It looked so good I've been testing it out in my own watercolors

Just testing some watercolors with a loose sketch of Link

@Rianq yeah I agree! I think this style could definitely work for like a VN style game or really any game that has character portraits!

Out of sheer curiosity I wanted to see how my previous watercolor head would look as a character portrait for a video game, so I did a quick mockup in Krita and honestly? I think it looks pretty good! Kinda Atlus-y

A screenshot of my computer monitor showing a canvas in Krita that has a mockup of a character portrait talking. The character portrait in question is the character from my previous post that depicts a redheadish character with a cyan shirt

I was playing around with focusing on values more than colors, and I also wanted to play with the new tube of Prussian blue I got

An loose watercolor painting of a face. The background is a melody of values. Everything in this little piece is more focused on getting the values right rather than the color

@danedeasy yep that's the one! It's a pretty fun little visual novel, and I'd love to play the original DS and Wii versions at some point!

Ashley Robins from Trace Memory! I always thought Trace Memory looked super interesting on the DS, but I never got it until they remade it for the Switch. Then getting the Switch 2 was the push I needed to finally play it!

Okay, after playing with the switch 2 and Mario kart world I gotta say coming from the original switch 1 it's SO much bigger and the switch 2 feels very high quality in its build quality. I'm really enjoying it! It feels like a DS to 3DS transition
