finally finished this!
it's pretty obvious I wasn't consistent... I wanted to but I guess I didn't want to prevent myself from experimenting
drawing style wise it wasn't easy being consistent anyways haha
whoa this is actually the first series I ever finished in my life

thoroughly.
I feel like you were very consistent. Consistently awesome, that is. But, really. I feel like each piece matched the element wonderfully. I'm really impressed!
haha this is the first series I ever finished so what you said really means alot ;v;
Oh! Were there others you hoped to finish?
Curious, and this has more to do with aesthetics than anything, but you've got the two circular motions on one side, and the two non-circular motions on the other. Since the circular motions glow more on one side than the other, it gives the pic a distinct draw to the left for our eyes. Was this intentional?
and I already planned to arrange it based on the avatar cycle water-earth-fire-air after I was done.
I guess it was a bit of coincidence the circular ones ended up on the left side! hehe : D
when you DO use dry media brush, does it tend to be just one big stroke?
when I use dry media brush for my artwork, I usually just use one brush.
it's not always just one big stroke, I usually try to cover up the areas completely by doing multiple strokes,
sometimes I tend to leave out some areas just so it doesn't look too refined/clean.
there's alot of amazing artists / art tutorial blogs that'll keep you inspired <3
I'm kinda glad the poses give out that idea! I really liked the idea of them
incorporating real martial arts to bending so I can't not include that ;v;
I haven't watched Korra, but I daresay that you drew her poses fluidly!! Impressive!!
haha drop by tumblr some time there's alot of cool artists there (that really inspires me alot)
I totally love the lines and how you interpreted and represent them so well in just few strokes and colors! Amazing!
