Steven, Homeworld, Danger... Diamonds... Those words don't sound too comforting together, right? Who said this was a comforting story? For Steven and the gems, things finally don't go right. When Steven is separated from Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl...

Wow, I don't know what to say.
This was REALLY hard, and I'm still not that pleased with the outcome.
Then again, I was using cheap watercolors, but still. Paint is paint.
I don't normally use paint. I'm way better at making art with a pencil and paper in hand. But, I really want to start teaching myself how to paint. I know a whole lot about proportions and anatomy, and I can draw fine... so I thought, how hard can painting be?
IT WAS REALLY HARD. Especially with watercolor. I wish I had some oil-based acrylics. And shading is so difficult, especially with watercolors. Somehow, I managed to finish the piece, though.
The hair isn't very realistic, and the paint is splotchy in some areas... but other than that, I think it's actually okay. Especially considering I don't paint often. I prefer pencils.
So...
I was just minding my own business, finishing up the last chapter of Consequences, when I though: Man! I'm bored.
Then I had a great idea!
You know how the Crystal Temple has that painting of Rose Quartz. I thought, the Rainbow Temple needed one too! So I started with the face, then that one smaller ringlet over the shoulder, then the arms and dress, then the gem, and finally, the rest of the hair.
I painted for about an hour or two last night, and this morning was another hour. When I tried to put my signature at the bottom, it came out weird. Turn out, canvas board is hard to write on too, since its surface is bumpy. But, I didn't have a paintbrush small enough to paint my signature, so... yeah.
Anyway, my next course of action is finding a place to hang this painting. Also to clean up my mess.
