And when you’re an MFB fan.
You’re Chris every year at the oral exam (But not anymore haha).
You see the name Chris in your Listening Tasks.
I just saw the name Chris today in one of my exercises today.
Found another ‘voice-actor-cross-dressing’ from zerochan. ..hm since everyone already knows Kyuubey and Kenta , Kyuubey and Sakurano is new , I think ..looking at oumuro-chan now, Azusa could wear that too..nyaa!
Talking about Kenta and Kyuubey, I remember a crazy crossover doujin I drew last year about them, all the sake of sharing the same seiyuu……LOL
…Maybe I can show you guys the manga once I’ve done redrawing it…some day, some day.
Hi! Sorry for the late reply orz. I was busy at school, but now I’m free :D
First, watercolors are water based (why did I even say that) and are transparent and delicate in nature. It’s important to know the nature of an art material so you can get an idea on how to use it well and basically that’s your first step - understanding your art materials.
Now onto the main point, about coloring with watercolors. Let me take out our subject of this tut, Chris.
Okay, so here’s our lineart, and until now, I’ve just colored his hair and diseased skin (need to fix that lol), but I think it’s enough for this tut. Usually, beginners would just slop on the colors, as if base-coloring in Photoshop or Sai, but that’s not how to color with watercolors in this case. Instead use a clean brush and dip it with water and slop it over the area you want to color - to create a thin layer for coloring. Kinda like using the selection tool or the magic wand in Photoshop or Sai, like this:
Then pick any color you like and dap your brush onto the shadow/dark areas. After that, clean your brush and then fade the colored areas, but try to preserve the gradient between the colored areas and the previously uncolored areas, kinda like:
Well, in the photo, I first dabbed the colors on the tips of his hair and faded the colors into the centre. And that’s what it looks like when you’ve finished the “base coloring”.
Of course, about shading, I like to shade semi cell, and so I have to wait for his hair to dry before I can do anything else like add in darker shades, but when it comes to blending in colors, of course it’s easier blending on wet, but be careful. Make sure the surface you’re working or your brush on isn’t too wet or you’ll get ugly-looking “flower” blobs instead of even blends.
Also, in some watercolor works, like Emperpep’s, you can observe a thin white gap between subjects, and this is done to prevent the colors from the background and the colors of the character from mixing together, and when that happens, it can indeed be ANNOYING, and speaking of annoying, it’s not nice to ruin a picture with blobs of water on it isn’t it?
When I color something wrong, I usually clean my brush then scrub out the mistake in vain (I’m serious) and it doesn’t turn out good and even though it’s basically “clean”, you still have this blob on your painting surface and that’s why I said fixing mistakes can be annoying. Also, if you don’t clean your mistakes carefully, you could even affect other parts of your picture as well, and it sucks.
I hope the tutorial helps! :)

Me: Hey dad, do all artists in your mind hold brushes and draw on canvases?
Dad: Well of course, they do.
Me:…You…just stereotyped artists *facepalm*
_Haha~Kung Hei Fat Choy
恭喜發財哇~這是我第一次在我的blog上寫外語呀, 除了用在FB上, 我從沒有在其他地方寫過中文oWo
So how did you spend your Chinese New Ye- Well, let’s assume everyone’s still going to school. In HK, we get a CNY Hoilday (Extra Holiday woot), and that means EXTRA BREAK OFF. On the second day of the first lunar month, there’s a firework display in Victoria Harbor, and this is the first time I went to see it.
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen fireworks live, but this is the first time that I was so close to the beautiful fireworks…and it was extremely breathtaking - I kept taking pictures of the fireworks and wasted a lot the film oWo.
Sorry for blurred photo orz. Me and my family were on my way to see the fireworks, even though the traffic lights still worked, but tonight, it is the people who own the road. (封路嘛~ Road Block
I took this picture in the way to see the fireworks. The huge dome you see in the pictures is actually a dome theatre. I’ve been in there and you lie (well sorta lie, more like half sit and half lie) down on the seats and you enjoy the show - on the ceiling LOL. It’s part of the Hong Kong Space Museum and then it’s connected to the Art Museum, the Cultural Museum, the Avenue of Stars…oh well. *sweatdrop* I have to stop going landmark-crazy.
This building is called the Peninsula. It has a really long history and it dates back to the period of the British Rule. I took it on the way too - it’s really close to the Museums, and adding on that it’s a historical landmark, I took that too, to show off HAHAHAHAHAHA (not)
:-O IT’S WHITE HOT LAVAAAAAA——no it isn’t. It’s just the Peninsula’s fabulous glowing fountain.
Haha, I don’t think the police would mind having their behinds taken LOLOLOLOLOL
I took this due to pure interest. (This picture would have looked so much better in my mind, yay fantasies)
And there was this huge fish which caught my eye. I had to take a picture of it (with loads other people)
The old KCR clock tower. Also of historical value, and took it on the way.
The wall of a clothes shop. There was a gay-looking guy on the walls too, but we were in such a hurry that I lost the chance to take a picture of it. The atmosphere of the walls were supposed to be merry but I made it scary instead *FAIL*
