This year my animation school friends did secret Santa where we had to create a piece of art work for each other. I did this initial sketch of a Japanese garden.

I wasn’t happy with it and didn’t think someone would want to hang it on their wall. So I redrew it with out the inkĀ lines. I was also so inspired by the Totoro forest project book I recently bought I decided to add some little creatures to the image.

This is taken from a photo so its a little blurry, I finally got a new scanner but the painting has been given away.
Heui
I love it! I like it without the outline as well. Outline seems to take the softness of this medium. I think your water color is getting more amazing!
