Colors Gallery, meet comet_ser
@comet_ser art shines brightly like a comet shooting across the sky! They have a way of painting that combines realism with a sense of softness that really stands out! Let's all give them the spotlight and learn more about them!
Comet_ser, eh? Who is that and what should we know about them?
"My real name is Rocío. I grew up watching all kinds of series and listening to all kind of music, I like to escape from reality by immersing myself in any kind of art. I have always felt attracted to drawing, I have no memory in which it has not been like that. Since I was little I knew that I wanted to dedicate my life to this."
Drawing things from my Pinterest by comet_ser
Sonic art and gorgeous portraits seem to be the thing you're know for here in the Colors Gallery! What are your inspirations? Is there any other types of art you want to try out?
"Anything that conveys a feeling is my inspiration, whether it's a drawing, a song or a poem.
Years ago almost all my drawings were of landscapes and with charcoal techniques, right now I am rusty but I would love to recover all that."
"I would also love to be able to handle the technique of watercolors, although I have never been good at it, what can be achieved with them is beautiful."
Amy Rose by comet_ser
Classic Sonic or Modern Sonic? End the debate once and for all! Favorite Sonic games and character( something tells me that it's probably Amy Rose but I can't put my finger on it...)
"You're putting me between a rock and a hard place! I honestly can't choose, I would betray my inner child. I've grown up with Sonic and for a long time it was my most favorite thing in the world. It's really rare for me that there's something about the Sonic franchise that I don't like, even if there's something that nobody like, my inner child would never be disappointed. The first time I discovered Sonic it was for the serie "Sonic Underground", I was mesmerized in the first second and it all started from there."
"My favorite things about Sonic are literally everything I got from him; Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 for Mega Drive, Sonic Rush for Nintendo DS, Sonic X, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, the soundtracks of their video games, and the movies."
"And despite drawing Amy almost always, my favorite character has always been Sonic. I don't draw it that much simply because I'm not good on it haha."
You have a really great grasp on values in your realism pieces! What's your secret? What are the main brushes & tools you use?
"When I was a little I spent hours watching videos of everyone's drawing process (something I'm delighted to have on Colors Live)."
"Just don't be afraid to discover and experience new things! If it wasn't for all the videos I watched when I was a kid, I wouldn't be able to draw like I do today."
"Also color theory is very important, if you manage to master it you will get incredible results! It's always helpful to look at references and drawing tutorials, or just SpeedPaint."
"My main brushes are the classic brush, the large and the select and move brush. Anyway, I always experiment with the other brushes! I like all of them."

How did you discover Colors Live and how do you feel about it? How does it assist your workflow? Do you use any other mediums/software? Any tools or features you want to see in the future?
"I discovered it a long time ago, when it was Colors 3d. I remember seeing it on the eShop and wishing I had it, at the time I was little and didn't know how to get it, So I settled for other drawing programs and Miiverse, although always wanting to have it.
In the first moment that the Nintendo Switch program was announced I couldn't stop thinking about it, and as soon as I had money I got it. In all my consoles I have made drawings,so I was very excited to have it. I love the people on the Colors live website, they make the app more special. ♡"
"Currently Colors Live is helping me a lot; Apart from the Nintendo Switch, I only have a mobile to draw and even is the screen is not small, it is not enough for me."
"Sometimes I do use it to draw with the program of Ibis Paint X. Is very intuitive and has many brushes, tools, able to see the drawing process and its own website, just like Colors Live!"
"I would love to have a transform tool (perspective shape, mesh shape), being able to create or import brushes and definitely a difumino!"

Any art advice you want to give to the community? Or just advice in general?
Don't worry if you can't draw daily, if you're busy, bad emotionally, or just don't feel like it. Rest, take care, cry if you need it, everything will be fine. ♡
Do you want any goals for the future?
"I would love to be a tattoo artist, I would be the happiest person in the world. :')"
Your art shines bright like a comet! What inspired your user name?
"Inspired by Halley's Comet and fused with Serena's name; it means a new beginning to me after many years of mourning."
"I have always fantasized about knowing what are beyond everything; whenever I feel lost I look at the sky with the hope of finding a reason to stay."
Colors Gallery question from razrdraws: How do you achieve the soft but realistic feeling in your potraits? Do you have any tips for finding ant utilizing good references?
"I think it has always been like this, I have always liked soft touches and small details. I mix colors and use the right brushes for the idea I want to convey!Some drawings are made after joining different image ideas, I choose what appeals to me the most from each one and add it to the drawing. Normally I think about the drawing in my head and then I look for references that fit the idea, and what I love the most; the color palette! (you can also search for color palette references)."
Colors Gallery question from -FineLine-: Where did you get your user name from?
"At the first moment I knew that I wanted something related to a song (in this case Halley's comet)."
Anyone you want to shout-out?
