I finished drawing by adding color with Kuretake pens. Still left watery loose marks, I like combination of loose texture and sharper details. Very sad how fast water brushes getting clogged and loosing sharp point. Even I trimmed it with scissors as Laure Ferlita advised and disassembled to rinse. May be I should try distilled water?

So beautiful. Just the perfect amount of color. Congrats on joining the 500 Club. You are an inspiration for me in many ways. Thank you.

Congratulations on reaching 500. This makes you as old as Joe, Ziza and me. You have reached this milestone in style with another beauty. Now, please hurry up in order to be the top contributor, Its hard work marking time until you do this. BTW when you reach 500 you have to buy a drink for Leo. I managed to avoid this by “forgetting” when we met and Ziza and Joe are in hiding He He! BTW do you fill your brush with ink or water? They should last if just dipped into the ink and use gently. I don’t think distilled water would make any difference although you should never let water, in ANY container, lie for long periods.

Thank you very much Eileen and Bob. I probably should buy Leo a drink, may be beer since I like it myself and it won’t knocked me down.
I put ink on the lid or dip into ink bottle, I mixed in separate bottle but than it got slimy. I tried to fill brush, but it is also uncomfortable. I just press my brushes too hard against grainy paper. I always leave water in my water brushes and ink in pens.

Congratulations on a beautiful 500! Bob is right, I should come out of hiding… My pens think I’ve neglected them.

Nikira, congratulations on beautiful 500! Keep it on. I want to see you at the top. I will, however have to re-start posting as I see that daily posts dropped down to 4-5, which is shame. We have to keep this wonderful site alive…
