Teaching yourself watercolor painting is actually not as difficult as you think (person 1)
Strictly speaking, it is not a tutorial, but an experience sharing. The picture shows Li Youyou's works copied.

The materials, tools and some basic techniques of watercolor painting are described in detail in my previous article of the same name, "Self-taught watercolor painting is actually not as difficult as you think (flowers)", so I won't go into details here.

It is worth mentioning that, because the paper was used up, the newly bought watercolor paper hasn't arrived yet, so I tried it with gouache paper, and unexpectedly found that the effect was not bad. This one was painted by glossy surface of gouache paper. )

Here are the specific steps. As I am a self-taught student who "crosses the river by feeling the stones", I hope you will correct me if there is anything wrong in the process.

1. Draw a line according to the original drawing, and use a pen as lightly as possible to outline an outline.

Although it is enough to draw an outline, the shape must be positive, because line drawing will directly affect the effect of the whole painting.

2. Give the first layer of light color to your hair, and you don't need to cover it all. The bangs can be left a little blank and the hairpin part can be left.

Color: brown (or brown), black

Paint the clothes with the first layer of light color (in fact, you can paint them deeper at once, and I want to try to paint them again this time).

Color: blue

4. The clothes are darker in color. If you paint deeper in the third step, this step can also be omitted.

One thing to note is that the colors of clothes should be dark and light, showing a change, not all painted the same way.

There are wrinkles on the skirt, which are painted with darker pigments.

5. Draw the details of the hair with Gou Xianbi, using the same pigment as in the first step, only a little deeper.

Generally, just draw some, not all.

If you feel unnatural after painting, you can wait until it is almost dry, and then check the hair color as a whole with lighter pigments.

(There will definitely be a baby asking why you don't draw the details directly after the first step of coloring, because I have to wait for the paint to dry, otherwise the hair drawn will be dizzy. )

6. Draw eyes with Gou Xianbi

As you can see, my eyes are not very successful. This time, I tried to draw double eyelids and lower eyelids with vermilion, but I always felt that it was a bit superfluous, especially after the pigment dried, it showed water marks.

Therefore, when drawing eyes, you babies should look at them by yourself. After careful study, I will summarize a method of drawing eyes later.

One thing to mention is to pay attention to blank space. Of course, you can also draw with a highlighter.

Step 7 color the skin part

Color: vermilion (more water, more water)

When coloring the skin, it is best to brush the part that needs to be colored with water first, and then dip it in pigment to let it naturally smudge.

8. sign, complete

Dangdang Dangdang, so easily completed a work of their own. (Like, don't forget to like and pay attention)

Finally, I want to say that because I am a student party, I have not paid much attention to the information (mainly because you know what it is). But the paper I bought last time really pissed my baby off. Forget it, just go to the comparison chart.

What the hell is that on the right? I have no idea what I have drawn with the mentality of "turning decay into magic"

So you babies must pay attention to buying paper! Don't repeat my mistakes, which will not only affect the painting experience, but also affect the mood.
