A Beginners Guide to Watercolor Characters

[@TheArtfulAddict]

I LOVE Ms. Mouse! This tutorial should be the first of a series of character tutorials.

[@victoriajane2468]

Shayda, I’d love to see more cartoon-type animals like this! She is adorable!!! It would be fun to build on this and make some animals at Christmas, Easter, ❤️ Day and so on. I LOVE Ms. Mouse!!! 🐭💝🐭💝🐭

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Great idea!! Thank you ❤️

[@kerenvalentin7082]

Mrs Mouse is so cute, she looks like she's getting ready to dancing. Great simple illustration, not difficult. Thanks!!

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Thank you so much 😀

[@mybrownbeauty1324]

Aww. How adorable. To up the cute factor my 7 year old daughter said "She should of added a bow on one of her ears. Then she would of been even cuter." I told her "Well maybe you can draw a mouse and add a bow on one of her ears instead. After all this was her painting." 😊

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Love it!

[@mkaiser9639]

Hullo Shayda, it is so enjoyable to watch a video where the Artist makes design simple. You have a wonderful style and communicate so easily with your viewers. Thank you for sharing another wonderful project with techniques for success! Thank you.

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Thank you so much!

[@imaginationscraftyart]

Awwwww this character is so cute 🥰🥰🥰

[@nicelann2606]

this is beautiful and cute 😍😍😍 i am a little scared doing watercolor with "characters".. although i made illustrations, but i always have references, i'm not confident making my own.. i'll try doing it when i feel a little braver..🤣

[@ShaydaCampbell]

You'll get there :) Don't be afraid of making mistakes, it is all part of the process. Just experiment and have fun!

[@DilikArt]

[@YCauser]

This was great! I would love to see more cartoon characters. Thanks so much.

[@ЛьюиллиннФлоримель]

Здравствуйте, Шейда! Как интересно наблюдать за чужим рисованием! Поразило, как Вы держите карандаш, руководите им средним пальцем, никогда не видела подобного удержания карандаша, как все по разному работают.

[@ShaydaCampbell]

It's different 😅 just a bad habit I formed early on

[@joshbratton7027]

That's Amazing Shayda! Miss Mouse is Sooooooooo cute and love the sweet country character she exudes!!! How Fun!!! Never knew what to do with Tracing Paper until now. Thank you! 💙 Mary B

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Thank you 🤗

[@mkaiser9639]

You are amazing!

[@alexandraalmeida3661]

I loved this! I really love animal illustrations and this was a great tutorial! I’m going to try a Mr. Bear 🐻, since I love bears😊, but your Ms. Mouse is absolutely adorable. Not difficult to draw and paint and so so sweet 💙💗❤️💜🧡💛🖤♥️💚

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Thank you so much 😀 Have fun!

[@marialmaisom9504]

Shayda what a great tutorial!!! Maybe the next character could be created using brush pens? I enjoyed this so very much!!

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Great idea!!

[@blackysalvat982]

Beautiful ❤️

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Thank you! 😊

[@ericakauffman5786]

Thus us soooo cute!

[@maddie.millward]

Omg, she's actually adorable!!! I'm so happy I found your channel, and just subscribed

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Thanks for subbing! The synthetic brushes are usually cheaper, just look for the more affordable options from the same brands! www.amazon.com/Princeton-Artist-Brush-Synthetic-Squirrel/dp/B01MRCD3CO?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ACD4013XBS5C9 or, www.dickblick.com/items/da-vinci-artist-brush-set-forte-basic-set-of-5/

[@celinenguyen9461]

So cute 🐻

[@helenmcclellan452]

So cute! I love the color choises. QUESTION: What watercolor set are you using? I would like to purchase the same one so I can follow along and learn as you paint.

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Helen, look below the description of the video she has a list of supplies. I believe Lindsay, “The Frugal Crafter” is the best resource for art supplies for the financially challenged. I prefer a DaVinci of California palette, they have several options to choose from, professional quality paints at reasonable prices!

This is the Mungyo Watercolor Paint Set: amzn.to/3I7P5xT

[@elviamunguia8397]

Dear Shayda, I love your mouse! I have a question for you. I’ve been going through a bad episode of depression, I thought it was gone but sadly, it came out of nowhere. I’ve been going to see a psychiatrist for awhile but, this last couple months I feel that the staff at the dr are bullying me! Specifically the office manager, I’m self pay and I hate to spent most of my hard earned money just to complain to the dr about his secretary, I have many, many moments where I cry and can’t stop and, my only way to vent is with my dr, but now I can’t! My appointment was at 11:30 am and got there on time, well, the secretary let all the patients go before me, I finally ask one of the patients and her appointment was at 12:30 pm, so, now I knew for sure that she was doing on purpose. What can I do? I sure need help. Thank you for all you do, specially for those who are dealing with mental illness. ❤️

[@classyfuturistic]

Adorable, can you create any character?

[@ShaydaCampbell]

That's the idea! Just practicing and refining until you get it right

[@Kelli.Hicks.5]

Ms. Mouse is such a cutie patootie.

[@ShaydaCampbell]

Thank you 🐭

[@babya9929]

Could you do paddington bear

[@ShaydaCampbell]

I'll add him to my ideas list :)

[@carlottalicursi8948]

Com'è carina, sembra uscita da un libro di Beatrix Potter

[@ShaydaCampbell]

I love that, thank you!

[@vandanashrivastav1449]

Pls try to draw harry potter with watercolors

[@ShaydaCampbell]

I will add it to my list 😅

[@vandanashrivastav1449]

I thought you can only draw small things. Basically, I underestimated you

[@Lynn.Miles.]

Really cute thanks! But, I hope you will not mind me saying this, a little pause sometimes and not talking non-stop would be nice to ^^ (just a little ascertainment)

[@marrykardux1812]

Thus us soooo cute!
