The tutorial of how I achieve watercolor effect in Sai! :) I highly recommend using real watercolor paintings (your own or ones found on the internet) as reference.

And here you can find a few useful links: 

1. You can download the Sai file of this picture here: link 
2. Video process of painting another picture: link
3. The old watercolor tutorial: link
4. Sai brushes (none of them is made by me) link + file you need to open them in Sai: link

Redid a post by fucktonofanatomyreferencesreborn with sources because they never source anything and I don’t want to reblog that post because I don’t want to support blogs who don’t give credit to people

(No, stating that the art is ~not yours~ and ~came from elsewhere~ IS NOT PROPER CREDIT. Many of these have usernames and such on them but not every single one and you still ought to link back to the specific piece)

I couldn’t source the last one so I didn’t include it.

A scrumptious fuck-ton of human mouth references.

Any resemblance to particular armors, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Well… mostly.
