As you can see in my gallery, this week I departed from graphite, trying out watercolor pencils at the figure drawing group.  I didn't necessarily have water & brush in mind when I did this, just wanted some color besides silver gray.  Though now that I've scanned these I'm considering toying around with the brush and water to see what else I can do with them.  Online here these seem too light with little contrast.  I expect the brush will help emphasize the values there.  Anybody watching this good with watercolor?

But when I go to browse the Portraits & Drawings submitted in the last 24 hours, sorted by popularity, they are NOT there. These two drawings have 24 and 22 views respectively.  So I have to go a few pages into the list and I click on
