Very nice. It says you used watercolors and acrylics for this... which did you use where? :)

It's mostly watercolor. I inked some of the lines in colored acrylics, and then it's painted mostly with watercolor. The only other acrylic is for some of the darker shadows and details. Mostly because I could not get the right amount of contrast with watercolor sometimes.

Ok, well it looks great! I've never tried using both acrylics and watercolor, though I have watered down my acrylics occasionally so that they practically are watercolors.

As long as you finish what you like with the watercolor first you can go over it with acrylic with no problem. For example if you need an extra layer of color and you know using more watercolor will make the paint lift up it works well.

I thought of it because years ago I learned Kinuko Craft's technique, but it is too involved for me. She uses watercolor, seals it with clear acrylic and uses oils over the top. So I wanted to try that with acrylic because it would dry faster and I don't have to worry about the oils ruining the paper.

Beautiful drawing, a real beauty.
Gentle posture, elegance and beautiful, I like the style of the youth is very reflected in the image, even so I love it but also because of the beautiful women with their beauty.
And the composition of the Oriental, is a dream, so what makes the image alive.
