Watercolor Pencil Beta Fish (Today's Art)

 Beta Fish in Watercolor Pencil

First Try: AGPTEK Watercolor Pencils

AGPTEK Watercolor Pencils, try #1

Second Try: Arteza WaterColor Pencils

Arteza Watercolor Pencils, expert, try #2

So, I saw this tutorial on Youtube by the talented Emily Olson Art. 

I watched the tutorial and it was great, but Emily gave us the link to the reference photo she used so I just looked at the reference photo and tried it myself.  I may go back and try it with the actual tutorial, lol, but I'm pretty happy with my fish, but need to learn how to do a better background.

The Arteza watercolor pencils have a much nicer feel to them than the AGPTEK; they don't crumble or break and they feel creamier.  However, the AGPTEK look good, and have lovely colors too.  I do enjoy using the Arteza better, but it's just that they feel better, and also, they have color names and numbers, whereas the cheaper set does not.

I had fun doing these, and although I'm happy with my results,  I'm hoping I'll get better over time.  I have loads of tutorials to watch on Youtube, which is great.
