I've just been in the mood to use traditional media recently. I first dyed the watercolor paper with the idea of using it as a texture for digital drawings, but then I decided I wanted to see how a painting would work.
This is my original character Evangeline. I use her whenever I want to do some generic pretty portrait and don't want to make up a new character. I get tired of drawing someone new cause then my imagination goes wild figuring out their story.
I used a beautiful green ink for the paper color, then I used a combination of ink and acrylic for the rest of her. My roommate totally got me into inks! Who would ever want to use watercolor when there's rich inks!
I copped out with the key and just drew one I own instead of being creative and making a cool one up.
I have the same problem with random drawings! I can start with nothing but a pathetic scribble and then have a fully-fleshed character in less than two days if I stick with it.
I love the key border, by the way, and YAY for ink! That's my favorite medium to work with, even though I've never used it in a painterly way.
It looks good! I'm with those who say you should experiment more in this style/medium.
lol I don't have a camera until my mom gets back. Even then, she is coming back from a very long trip and prolly has a butt load of pictures to transfer. I may take a pic of them, but the more I look at them, the more I see that I don't like some of them.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

When made with love and tender care, by man or beast or fish or clam, the one delight to always please is freshly made raspberry jam.
