Incredibly cute, I like it.

@Jhena
Thanks. 😃
My students like the potted plants drawing.

My drawings example for worksheet grade 3 last week about four different emotional feelings.

Happy and Sad

Angry and Scared

Today, I made this with my fuse bead kit...

It's Link from the Game Boy Zelda games, and I'm happy with how he turned out! Been playing the Zelda Oracle games when they came out on NSO, and I figured I'd make Link into fuse bead form, so I took a few screenshots and took it from there. I'm thinking of doing another one of Link swinging his sword.

@MarioLover92 aah cool, I really like these fusing beads. Haven’t bought any in a long time though.

@Eel Thanks! Been getting some decent mileage with my fuse bead kit, and I wanna make more sometime. I think I want to get perler beads next though, those seem to be more popular, at least on those YouTube tutorials.

@MarioLover92 they’re more of a known brand name, but yours look pretty nice and uniform already!

@Eel Really? I thought perler beads were a different kind of bead. Makes sense, since I've ironed and flattened my fuse bead projects in the same way. Thanks again!

@MarioLover92 yeah it’s kind of like… you can have legos, or generic blocks that function the same way. Just a brand name.

@MarioLover92 I really like this! Physical pixel art!!!

I’ve painted all three original starter Pokemon now, so I made a little collage to share all three together here.

@Eel I love them ... but there is an impostor there!!!

@Eel
Did you manually draw the black outline after the water color get dried ?

@Eel All righty, gotcha. I did look up perler beads, and yep, they're a brand name. Nice artwork by the way!

@Zuljaras Thanks! This kind of thing has appealed to me and I want to make more of them sometime.

@Zuljaras it needs this sound effect 😂

@Anti-Matter With these paints, since they’re very transparent, I draw the outline first.I attempted to use different styles of outlines in every drawing.

@MarioLover92 Thanks!

Joining the thread here! Hopefully I’m not interrupting anything 😅
@Eel Those are adorable! I really like the way the watercolor has been blended together, especially in the water. By the way, what pen do you use to outline? I’ve tried outlining before painting, but it’s always bled going over it.

@SmashBall35 thank you! I do think the water came out the less “splotchy” of the bunch, so I like it. For bulbasaur and squirtle, I used 0.3 Copic multi-liners (I have one in brown and one in blue, from a pair of Copic Doodle Packs!), and for charmander I used a 1.0 Uni Pin fine line pen, it’s really good, but a bit thick… so I’ll probably get a finer one at some point.

@Eel Ooh! Thank you. I’ll have to try this out sometime!

The first part of my art project series, where I draw my persona under the effects of each Super Mario power up across the series. In this piece, he's got temporary invincibility (and flashing rainbow colors) so for a few moments, no enemy can hurt him! (except bottomless pits, getting crushed or running out of time, to name a few examples of invincibility-nullifying effects)
