Here is a watercolour tutorial. I wanted to add this because there is also other ways besides the traditional way of paintting with watercolours.
I hope that this tutorial will help you out. And I hope you understand this since my english isnt amazingly good.

Oh, and here is the finished pic, and another traditional art tutorial of mine:

how did you get your colours to come out so vibrant on the computer
whenever i scan anything in yu see all the errors, ane smudges, but yurs looks absolutely flawless
tips please :3

nokecha In reply to whitebeans [2010-01-09 15:30:46 +0000 UTC]

I adjust the colors using Photoshop. Levels, Color balance and Hue/Saturation are great tools for that. Scanner almost never makes the colors look same as the original picure, so adjusting is always useful.

Good tutorial. I have been tring to work out this meathod on my own your tips here likely saved me alot of exparementing. I like watercolour but tend to use it in a less than traditional meathod as you have done here. i think it has a good effect and doesn't cover the line art much.

This was very helpful, and different, I've never water colored that thickly before. Always stuck with the like, water downed painting. I plan on giving this a try.
I only have water color paper....the wrinkly kind- is that the best way to describe it .__.
What paper do you use? It's very cleeaaan :3

nokecha In reply to Buttonbakerei [2009-12-29 09:04:10 +0000 UTC]

That's great to hear! I use very thick watercolor paper, I don't remember the brand, but something that's specially meant for watercolors.

Very good and useful tutorial, definately agree on the bit about the background I'm almost always more often than not scared of putting a background on

Brilliant outcome in the end a good inspiration to make friends with watercolors

I was wondering, for the small details, do you put down a layer of water before applying the color?

nokecha In reply to anniefeng93 [2009-08-12 07:50:24 +0000 UTC]

No, I just colored transparent layers with different colors.
