12 x 9 watercolor and ink.

Can't wait for summer...

First piece in a while; a bit rusty with the paints. My appologies. My stylized sun kind of looks like a Hot Wheel rim, but thems the breaks, I guess. Wanted to bring the paint on the rays all the way to the centre, but a fuck-up with the Sharpie forced me to change my plans. Linework could be a lot better too, 'specially on the hair.

Minor PS touch-ups, mostly to get it to look more like the original (my scanner tends to make the colours look faded). Hope this is the most appropriate gallery.

Awesome, man. I think this is your best yet. This summer is going to be sweet.

Thanks!

I was going to make it brown at first, but after the paint was on (hair was the last to be coloured), I wanted it more colourful. So i started with a dot of green, but it blended in far too well with the sky. Remembered your hair and tried pink, but it was too light. So in the end, I went for a shade of Little Mermaid Red, which was readily available in my pallet from the rays. But then I ran out and tried my hardest to mix a colour (somewhat unsuccessfully) that matched it.

And there you are.

Thanks (and super-thanks for the fav)!

Yeah I can't wait for the summer, and the beach...I didn't go at all last year and I miss it so bad.

Plus not as much school stress and decent weather (hopefully) will be much appreciated as well.

Really nice. I like the movement towards the top right, the fragmented hair.

Thanks :)

It turned out worse than I hoped for, but better than I expected, so I guess I can't complain.

Thanks.

Heard that you were over at Aaron's last week with your guitar...he was pretty impressed from what I gather, telling me he wants to pick up an Ibanez. Nifty little gadget, his pre-amp. I might pick one up after I get money, find my guitar and learn how to play worth a damn.
