So uh... I've had watercolour pencils for the longest time now, and I used to use them as just regular dry colouring pencils.

What a mistake that was.

I now see the error of my ways. Watercolour is a really cool medium and I'm almost embarrassed at how long it took me to give it a fair try. I blame the fact that everyone keeps saying how got dang hard it is.

But it's not hard.
You just don't like minor unpredictability.
And it's turning people off from trying a really pretty medium.
Stop it.

Anyways, samurai are a really appealing aesthetic to me and I've been on a Japan kick lately, so I guess I just had to draw one for my first attempt at watercolour. Pretty happy with how it all came out, all things considered.
Drawn on Fabriano cold press watercolour paper, with Staedtler Ergosoft watercolour pencils.
