Added 1 new A* page:Oh man it's late. This was one of those ones where I drew it all out, then decided I didn't like it and started over from scratch. Well, you learn something each time you do that, right? : o I think I've learned, for instance, not to try drawing characters in angled perspective just for the heck of it, because these day it seems I'm never happy with the result; I used to do wacky perspectives on characters all the time, as you can see in the earlier episodes, but either I've just gotten pickier, or I've got out of practice on the perspective stuff, but anyway it isn't working very well for me these days. Gotta not do that.
Also gotta focus in keeping things simple, not throwing in detail just to add noise, condensing stuff down as much as possible, because in watercolor at least, simple reads a heck of a lot better than busy. Watercolor just needs a lot of space to breathe sometimes, I guess. But for some reason I'm always making things more complicated than they need to be. Silly! (On the other hand, the real studied, super-simple look can actually take a really long time, because first you have to draw the scene, then you have to boil it down to its essentials, which can take way more time than just drawing it in all its superfluous detail took in the first place!
