Sunset Over the Ruins

I wanted to finish 2016 with an artwork, and by golly, I did! I'm trying to focus on creativity and fun rather than fussing over quality too much. I mean yes, I very much care about the quality of my artwork. It just doesn't pan out when "quality" means I almost never create because I'm worried it won't be good enough. Any art you have fun creating is worth the time, isn't it?

Anyway, I had a craving for my trusty ol' Staedtler Karat Aquarelle watercolor pencils, so I drew this up in a hurry and pulled them out to color it. My skill level is poor, but I had a blast and I improved over the course of this artwork. I only have the 24-set, so I did a lot of color mixing. The purple mixed into her green clothing suffered in the photo, but oh well. You guys get the idea hopefully.

Prismacolor inking pens, Staedtler Karat Aquarelle watercolor pencils, a touch of Sanford Col-Erase colored pencils, and Aquabee Super Deluxe Sketch Book paper (approx. 6 by 9 inches).
