Hometown Story Overview

A very simple simulation game where the player runs a store. Everything revolves around the store's improvement and there is not much to do after a while. While the game was fun and interesting, it ended up being boring after most of the events were seen. The events were the best part about the game since it felt like progression. The drawback was collecting pieces to the blue feather.

[Painting] A Watercolor a day

This week I challenged myself to learn how to use watercolor. About a year ago, I brought a watercolor pencil set and barely used it. It felt almost too precious to use but I finally broke through to use it without remorse (almost).

I been trying to inspire myself to use them over the past year. I really wanted to paint images in beautiful colors but I lack self confidence. I always feel that I can't do it but I want to break through that barrier. Hopefully, one day I can paint sites and landscapes. For now, I will have to learn through tutorials and images online.

Waterlily

 July 20, 2015 - Start
Watercolor waterlily tutorial I found on youtube. I could not make it as expansive as the tutorial showed since I was trying to save paper by cutting a 9" x 12" paper into 1/4. Watercolor paper is expensive after all. This 90 lb paper also curled so I would probably get thicker watercolor paper next time.

I can't say I am too proud of this work but it was a start. Using watercolor pencils was difficult when trying to imitate the techniques.

Learned: Can't mix the color I want as easily with watercolor pencils. Also less is more.
