Ethereal Promise :SS:

Man, I really need to practice my watercolors. Even though it is my favorite media to work with, I am the most unhappy with it out of the other stuff I work with.

This is yet another Secret Santa, this time for one of my fantastic friends, ~kiyo-ya-maro! One of the characters on his list was Silver the Hedgehog, and since I haven't drawn an official sonic character in a while, I snatched the opportunity to draw him. eue I love Silver! He's probably my 3rd fave male sonic character. Haha, you can probably guess what song I was listening to most of the time, during the process of this painting.

I think those lineart sketch commissions I did really helped me in preparation for this picture. The lineart here didn't take an insane amount of time, and erasing was a minimum. I wish I was that comfortable with drawing humans.
I finally had the chance to use my masking fluid, so I can do the background without getting extra paint on Silver. I was freaking out, since it was my first time using it, so there was still quite a bit of unpainted areas around Silver. Next time it will be better, I swear. ;; But hey, I am happy with how the background came out. I love watercolor backgrounds like this; just random blurs of colors, with a bit of salt for some added effect. I tried to make the colors emphasize Silver's mood. c:

Well, Kiyo, I hope you like the painting~ And thanks for throwing yet another awesome party. ^u^ Happy New Year!

Art by me!

P.S. I promise I will get around to responding to the comments on my other pictures. Busy week, despite it being vacation.
