How do you get watercolor to look the way it does in your art?

Well, you see, I do it by simply... not using watercolor to begin with!

I use Copic markers - but I'm bad and I don't always use them on proper marker paper.

Alcohol markers have a tendency to bleed through paper real bad, and some paper textures won't allow for optimal blending of the colors. But I think that experimenting with the papers I have - and I have a lot of papers, I'm a chronic stationery buyer - leads to a lot of really interesting results, some of which look a lot like watercolor!

Of the samples of how different paper make the marker look, I like the way the MUSE memo book croquis paper takes the Copic the best. Sure it necessitates putting a paper or using a shitajiki board underneath it to protect the next page, but I think that soft, saturated look is worth it.

I did take a watercolor course while I was in college and I enjoyed it a lot, but I've still got a lot of work to do to be like... as confident with watercolor as I am with markers.

My mom is thinking about picking up watercolor :3 my partner is starting to practice his pen/sketch exercises :3c Even though I didn't go into my initial choice of middle school art ed, I have kept compiling teaching materials, supplies, and teaching strategies for the past decade so it's fun to have two people eager to learn crafts I am FULLY outfitted to supply them w mediums and instruction :'3c

gonna admit a good chunk of the reason I have not been posting as much recently is because I had a massive backlog of art and it was too much for me to think about. so here's the highlights of my current sketchbook!

all of these are my ocs, aside from one random person I felt the need to put into sketched form in the fifth pic. idk. these are from late january through to late june of this year
