A bit rough but getting there...

One of he things that I have never been able to get my head around in the past is water colour. Whenever I tried it I just couldn't make it work. Well today I've given it another go and things seemed to go a little better than normal. The generic portrait on the left was one of my first attempts and Donkey, from the movie Shrek, was a later attempt, and whilst it is still a bit rough it does appear to be getting better. Clearly the lesson here is to stick at it. Actually the real lesson is to believe in the drawing you're trying at add water colour to because there are several intermediate drawings between these that had no conviction to them and are now in the waste bin.
