Description
Of all the things to draw and finish... I did more Gunnerkrigg Court fanart... I can't help it... I love that comic.[link]
Another FAILED watercolor attempt.
Remind me to scan drawing in first... THEN color it.
Watercolor killed all my pencil details.
Mediums: brown color pencil, watercolor, and acrylic paint.

You may not have gotten the effect you intended, but IMHO this is a beautiful painting. Call it a happy accident.

It's amazing! @-@ I nearly cry whenever people call their artwork "failed attempts" and the like, because I can't even come close. ;-;

I'm sure you can with practice!
I called it failed because my desired effect wasn't achieved. I apologize to you for making you cry! ;_;

Oh my goodness! It's lovely! Antimony looks so beautiful.
Whether it's a fail or not in your eyes, it's one of my favourite Gunnerkrigg Court fanarts. The soft colours and lines work very well together.

Thank you so much! I was a little disappointed with this only because so much detail got lost, but I really appreciate your comment. :>

That usually happens when scanning takes place...but considering how amazing it is now, I can't imagine how it would look WITH the detail

Thankyou :> I keep trying... I just feel like it's hard adapting to watercolors.

I feel the exact same. It does take a while to get used to them but once you do, your artwork will look awesome.

Why is this fail? I think it's good. Have you ever tried making copies of your sketch and painting on the copy?

It's fail because it's not how I imagined it XD
I have thought about it, but printing paper doesn't have the same quality as art paper. And I can't really print on thick watercolor paper without tearing up my printer.

What about investing in a lightbox or using carbon paper? I just think anything to keep the original is better than scanning it in. I just don't like the way scanners pick up pencil.

I think watercolor looks good when it's a little fuzzy. I like the slightly antique look here.
