#art#traditional art#watercolour#oc art#ocs#oc group: unsorted#oc: siren#im gonna be honest i still havent figured out how to draw sheer fabric. but i'll keep trying#ALSO i tried out a new thing where like#wait okay some context#so ive always had trouble with white in my watercolour doodles because it always looked REALLY flat compared to anything else#and i realized it was because the coloured in parts have the texture and tonal variation from the watercolour pigment to give it dimension#while the white of the paper didnt have anything except my beloved cold press texture#SOMETIMES to get around this with like ocs with white hair ive tried like#putting little strands of a light colour around#or like with my oc snoman since she's made of snow i always use ultramarine shading on her skin even if nothing else is shaded#and that kinda works for snoman cause shes a goddess thing and is otherworldly BUT i didnt like either of those methods for like#anything else#BUT i thought maybe. maybe i can just use REALLY REALLY REALLY light watercolour to make all the white things#(like sirens wings and his usual choice of wardrobe) a sort of off white?#maybe that will bring back some of the lost dimensionality? i dunno im trying it out lol#ANYWAY have some sirens in fancy dresses heeh hee hooo
