More tips:
- The closest I could find on Amazon to the watercolour set I use is the Sakura brand of Koi Assorted WaterColours Field Set.
- Just use any old toothbrush. I used to use the ones that my dentist would give me after a visit, just because those were kind of cheap and I wouldn’t actually use them anyways.
- I use acrylic for flicking and highlights because watercolour-whites tend to fade when they dry.
- Also, remember to keep your hands clean, because nothing’s worse than smudging graphite into your watercolours and then unable to get it out.
- Try to avoid black and white when possible. They tend to dull the colours and it loses that watercolouring lustre.
Since I started watercolouring again for my daily sketches, I’ve gotten a lot of asks/dA notes on if I could give a tutorial on watercolouring and also more specific questions that overlapped each other, so I decided to do a semi guide/tips/answering thing.
I actually started watercolouring before I went into digital medium, so I have a bit of personal experience, but I am essentially self-taught when it comes to watercolouring since there weren’t a lot of watercolour tutorials online back then to begin with, so I cannot promise that these are the absolute correct way of doing things.
Hope it helps anyways :)

Look at these mousse like cheesecakes(?) with stuffed centers! :O
The first one looks like a berries cheesecake, then Tiramisu cheesecake, strawberry shortcake, and I’m not sure about the last! (click the link for more pics)

there is a short cut!!!!!! If you are on the Marriott side of the convention center there are exits on the side or you can go through the garage on the same floor as the con. There is a public exit on the side that would leave you smack dab a few feet away!!!ok you guys are gonna get to walk this year!!!
so fanime shoved artist alley into this weird caterpillar tent building called south hall BEHIND the main convention center because of construction in the other halls or something. i’m sure there will be signs to help everyone find us but basically it looks like you can either walk around from the front of the con onto market st. OR hopefully use a shortcut from the back of the con to the caterpillar’s side door?? I.. I THINK. i don’t know if that’s just a restroom place. but that’s where the bathrooms are it’s still useful information
here’s the post i grabbed the photos from, you can look at them without my color coding: http://www.larein.com/2013/05/12/fanime-south-hall-map/
and a fancy artist alley map that probably took the staff forever to code: http://www.fanime.com/artist-alley-map
