Decided to start drawing my chibi self using Kirby's many abilities.

@Eel That shark smile is staring at my soul Great drawing!

Today I am going on a hunt for good quality watercolor paper, some extra brushes and little acrylic paints if I find the colors I am looking for

Came back and this is my haul!

I finally got 300g/m paper! It is not 100% cotton because of pricing reasons

I also saw 420g/m paper now that is thick af

Got myself a rigger brush for easier way of painting tree branches and one more mini brush because ... reasons

Unfortunately, I could not find white pastel pencils, but those 2 green shades are perfect for adding some grass textures!

And finally more acrylic paint! Dark brown and one of my favorite colors Yellow Ochre!

Actually, I think I'm going to re-do that Parasol pic until I can master the art of drawing chibis (which will be my new default style because drawing humans with correct proportions is stressful). Also in one of my projects, I'm going to draw my persona cosplaying as each Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter, should I skip Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and Mr. Game & Watch?

@Zuljaras oh cool! About 100% cotton paper, I searched the block used in this video on Amazon, and it was decently priced at around 25 US dollars. I might order it next time I need paper:

(Why isn’t it embedding?) (the paper is Fabriano Artístico)

@HenryKibble You could try doing something closer to “character bounding” instead of literal cosplay. That way you can create outfits inspired by these characters without feeling awkward about it.

@Eel Like just wear T-shirts of the three?

@HenryKibble not quite so simple. People who do character bounding will create entire outfits that match the color scheme and vibe of the character, but often avoiding any literal depictions of the character.

So for example with DK you have two main colors and one significant element, the clothes would need to incorporate brown and beige, and include a red neck tie.

@Eel 25 is quite steep for me at my level The 300g/m cold press is around 10$ for 20 sheets of paper. It is good enough for exercising without having the "fluff balls"

And that video is quite interesting! I will watch it and try the techniques! Thank you!

PS: I do not know if you have liquid gum but get it! It is amazing for masking!

@Zuljaras I gotta get myself one of these pastel pencils!

Oh and I finally received my new set of watercolors, and I must say after all this time using a pastel-tone pan set, I’m just blown away by the color intensity, I’m loving it

You may notice a weird area to the side, that's some sort of defect in this little book (it is visible on the other side too!)… The pastels covered it before, but these new paints are more transparent.

@Zuljaras I didn’t know you were into WOW, I’m not but I feel like it’s a little rare to find people who are, openly without having to go to a thread for it and stuff.

Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

@Zuljaras @Snatcher WoW destroyed the MMORPG I used to play.
I used to play Everquest and then WoW came out and everyone left to play that and then there was NOBODY to do raids anymore. I then gave up on MMORPGs in general as it just showed to me how fragile and pointless gaming can be also how fickle gamers are as well.
I had put so much work in to that game and then pop no one played it anymore
This is why I play mainly single player games and not online ones.
On a lighter note, this did get me back into console gaming and back into Nintendo's loving embrace
