Continuing with my obsession with these guys hair, I did this... thing.



In my silly head canon, they spend part of their night in the Cattank doing each other's hair for the next day, like an everyday teenage-girl-slumber-party  ;D  I'll dig up my wacom to see if I can still paint in it or not.

oh believe me, you are NOT the only one obsessed with their hair....... this drawing is very important to me. Sigrun in a most best-pajamas stuffing mikkel's - who is, by the way, twiddling thumbs like nbd - hair full of curlers...... reynir brushing tuuri's tiny hairpuff....... lalli in tHE SWEATER getting groomed by emil........ and "shtay shtill" ahahaha ha hahaha ha

oh, there are just too many great things in this, I would happily frame it and put it above my bed so I could look at it before going to bed every night.
you'll know where to find me.

Guys, here the fab Boulet made a great explanation on watercolors, you should check it out!

Hah, it's very in-depth and funny (I love Boulet!) but I wouldn't necessarily show this video to beginners. You don't need to know all this to get started with watercolours. The key points are at times 5:21 - 5:37, 10:00 - 10:31 and 14:11 - 14:21, (hint at those who want to spend only a minute on it).

Watercolour seems to have a reputation as a difficult medium and I think it's because most beginners use very bad materials.
Never use printer paper, get one that's thicker and more absorbent (it's gotta be able to take water without getting ruined). Also get a good small-ish brush with a pointy end like the one he uses in the video. That's all! If you have this you can work even with the cheapest watercolours and still get something decent-looking. Though, if you can afford it, get not-cheapest watercolours (they last a long time and are worth the money), and a large brush for backgrounds.
Other than that, just use your watercolours a lot, and you'll soon figure them out. It's not rocket science and it allows for countless different techniques (my way of painting is very different from Boulet's, but they both give pretty decent results - haha neat, I just positively compared myself to Boulet, way to go self. What an excellent time to shut up with my unsolicited advice.) 


Ah, I'd like to see the day Lalli achieves the self-assured calm wisdom Snufkin posesses :D Meanwhile, it's still a very pleasant drawing to look at. Does Emil get to be Moomintroll?

...there are no words. So wrong, yet so right. The only possible explanation. Every one of us will be reminded of this whenever we admire the team's hair. Thank you.

You're right of course, but I thought "the way of the lil' drop" was very pertinent thing to have in mind when learning to use watercolors  ;)

And I'm so very sorry (no, I'm not), but I needed to get that image out of my head or I would've gone mad.

Antillanka: Well, I guess it is! I don't use that technique myself and never did focus specifically on that, but I can see how it might help people, especially beginners.

Lalli as Snufkin?!? How utterly sweet. And how easy to imagine. That's beautiful!

I request a minute of silence in memory of all the innocent trolls that lost their lives to the unholy most best hunter. Seriously, if I ever met someone capable of making that face in a killing spree, i'd get aboard the nope-boat and sail to a lonely nope-island.
