What I realized in the process, however, was that, compared to watercolor, acrylic is disgustingly easy. Now I understand what everyone means when they've been telling me that 'watercolor is really hard'. It definitely requires a lot more control, as you only get one shot, and layering isn't generally an option (at least not a good one). Acrylic, on the other hand you can go over and over on till you get exactly what you want. It generally isn't really time efficient for a designer or fashion illustrator working on the fly (which is precisely why I've never delved in in the past) but, for an artist, it's smooth sailing.
Brilliant.
