Artist's Comments

Another experiment in gouache and watercolor. I discovered that my sponge pallet was a little moldy halfway through this (not something I've ever had a problem with before!), so hopefully the original painting won't grow mold as well. All the more reason to scan it into the computer! I'm going to sterilize the pallet-sponge with bleach and then boiling water. Hopefully that'll kill everything neatly.

The character is Taylor, who has shown up in some of my sketchbook pages as a young girl. She grew up for this image, but she still likes fish...

Is this the one with the goldfish ghost? Either way, it's very cool! Seriously, there aren't very many artists out there who can draw females with real personality, instead of "random pretty girl with no substance." (Well, Taylor is pretty, but it's the personality and facial expression that I notice first.)

P.S. I'm still trying to catch up on a lot of DA stuff, so it might take me awhile to get to everything. ^_^

Yep, that's the Taylor. In my mind, she's always been the kind of person with a big personality. She doesn't care that she's a daydreamer who's always saying weird things and talking to the walls. ;)
:iconbob-artist:
Hahaha, talking to the walls!!! That's awesome! ^_^

I thought it might be a boy.
Reminds me of my best friend. But she's a girl.
But she could be a boy if she wanted to. We all could, I guess.
She likes fish too.
I love it.
You arted me happy.
