Curate, connect, and discover
First of all, thank you very much for your great efforts and your many tips. I take everything you wrote very close to my heart, thank you very much. I've already tried to paint with watercolors, but everything is always vague, as you said, because I just didn't have the right paper for it. So I’m going to buy myself a real watercolor sketchbook. I already have brushes and all that stuff, but they are so worn out that I will probably have to buy new ones. I also love to just start drawing in my old little sketchbook without knowing what you are actually doing and at some point a nice drawing will come out. I have already painted a lot on canvas with acrylics and have often oriented myself on videos.
So this thing with Bob Ross or other artists that I can orientate myself on is a very good idea. I often look on the internet to see what I could paint and sometimes I watch videos. I didn't know Bob Ross then, so thank you for this :].
I also got the idea to paint with ink. Not necessarily with colored, but with normal black one. I still have a lot of them.
I also look for the tablet, I don't want to spend that much money because I have to try myself out. (If you know what I mean ;) ) But I'll definitely take a look at this Samsug tablet, because I've already heard that it is supposed to be very good. Thank you in any case, you really helped me a lot. I really appreciate that you made every effort to help me.
Of course you helped not only me, but also many others.
THANK YOU :3
Have an amazing day!

Addendum: Actually, my mom just came to my house and told me that she knows Bob Ross. Unfortunately not personally, hehe ;3 But just now I did understand how famous he actually is. HAHAHA, well now I know him too, so.. ;D
Hey you out there :^
I would like to practice my hobby of painting even more than I already do. I love to paint with pen and paper in my old little sketchbook, but I would like to do more now. I would like to paint as beautifully as, for example, heikala or snakequeen7 do it. (I follow them here on Tumblr - what you people are invited to do as well, they paint really magically beautiful ^^) I generally sketch very messy and with a lot of lines and strokes. I have read that Heikala also uses colored ink for painting instead of watercolors. That’s very smart and I think I’ll give it a try. I’m also thinking about starting to paint on a tablet. Because as I said, since I sketch very “messy” it might help to draw on a tablet with a special app and an electronic pencil (idk how that thingies are called :] ), where I can also use special color effects, etc. How do you see it? Do you have any tips and tricks for me? With drawings you simply bring a piece of your imagination to life - you make it a little more realistic. And I would love to be able to do it as well as many guys like me who like to paint and draw in their free time.
Have a wonderful day
