Artist's Comments

I was going to use colored pencils, but half of them were missing (o.0 where could they go?) so this is watercolors. It's probably for the best, I don't have shading skills...

Anyway, it's of the things I associate with fall. Reading and a crisp breeze, along with the colorful (yet subdued) flowers and leaves. Mostly I just really wanted to draw the orange and pink flowers, though.

The purple background...originally it was just behind the flowers along the bottom and tapered up the right side, but, the curve was off...so I did the whole thing. I kind of wish I didn't though, the color was more effective before =/ This is the universe sending a subtle reminder that if I learned to use something like photoshop or gimp, I would have access to that nice "undo history" tool...

I love the water colors I think they enhanced the picture actually. She is beautiful, and really does remind me of the fall. Great job!

I thought you said "bad things" happen when you use color. lol.
The color came out really well. I for one dont really enjoy using water colors, but you seem to have a real knack for using em.

I like it. It really makes the flowers pop against the page.

Thanks ^.^ I have a better hold on them than pencils or ink, but, they still need a lot of work ^^; I think if I were to color something that already existed, like the Nephenee drawing, the off-ness would be much more apparent = P

^.^ That much is true, I just wish I'd stuck to the border where the flowers are.
