Hello Everybody! How are you all doing today?

Welcome to my new post! I want to show you what I’ve been working on. This drawing I draw it a long time ago. But I colored it a few weeks ago. This is another of my practice victims. It is time to take a break. Maybe it is time to practice something else.

So I’ve been practicing. There is a lot I still need to get better at. But like I said before, I am using the wrong supplies with the wrong medium. So they don’t turn out as good as they should. At least I have time to work things out. Is not like I have anything else to do.

I am trying something new to see what works better. Now I know that small colored box works better as a background. Now, what can I improve next? I am re-inking the lines to make them stand out. During the coloring process, they tend to fade a little.

I love these pens but I also hate the fact that they reactivated with water. They make it so hard to blend. I can’t blend if the ink is not wet. But the liquid is the one that ruins the blending. I try so hard to make it all look smooth and uniform. But the water is there to warp it all up.

This is what I’ve heard online, you first start with a light shade. Then you add something between. Then you can add the darkest shade for shadows. You can blend them to have a nice gradient transition. Forget that, because my pens won’t do that.

So right now my pens and I are having problems and I don’t know if I can solve them. It only works when it wants to. Or I am still not good enough to understand them. What hurts me the most is that there are drawings that I need to color and I depend on them to do the work. I can’t start something new right now. I will take a break and use colored pencils.

Being an artist is so frustrating. It has become something that stresses me out instead of the opposite. And I miss that a lot. I know that I have the time to practice but I guess this isn’t the right time to frustrate over art. There are already a lot of things out there to give me enough dose of frustrations.

This is it. I am taking a watercolor break. I’ll start working with my colored pencils again. And it has been a while since. I am worried that I’ve lost my coloring skills for not doing it for so long. That is why I have to start over again. So please wish me good luck!

Do not forget to give me a visit at The Senspirational ArtRoom. All I need is your support and now you can do so by going to my Patreon page. Or go to see my older drawings at DeviantArt. There are also many other sites that I am currently active in. Never forget to add me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and Pinterest. Well, I’ll leave now. Be nice to others and have a nice day!

See you all later and take care,
