I want to give a card to one of my teachers and wanted to decorate it personally, I have never been into painting, but I don’t want to get anyone else to paint for me. Wish me Luck

Nice. That's a good score.

I don't know anything about watercolors quality either, but you should post again later and let us know how it went

Tbh, if anything is gonna fail, it’s my painting lol, but there are always colour pencils which are never gonna fail, but I really wanted to try something else

I think I am just gonna draw some gradients and stuff instead of something complicated

Cool. I always liked colored pencils, but I can never get them to do what I wanted.

Not that I practiced enough in the first place of course.

I tend toward simple lines and drawing comics more, I love black and white ink line drawings

I also feel like they might not be great if you wanna make something more than simple drawings/colorings

Colored pencils?

Yeah, I don't think I ever got passed crude brontosauruses and t-Rexes with those.

But boy, was there an excess of dinosaur coloring going on, haha.

Oh and one detailed gryphon in 9th grade.

Actually, I remember that this one gryphon turned out so well that I stopped used coloring pencils afterwards haha.

Like I thought to myself " All right, I've reached the peak of my craft. Time to move on."
