Prodigies Secret Whisper

EDIT:
Okey it's done anyway... Well here I try to make Itachi en Neji kun stare at each others eyes, the real title in my mind was: "Mine is better than yours!", but when it comes to drawing, their eyes are not "connected" and I found difficulty to draw the pose "glaring at the eye enviously", the Neji end up laying on the sofa >_<... And... it end up with smiling face.. IMO Neji looks whisper something and Itachi listen nicely.. However, my friend said that they looks like gonna kiss each other, my sis said that they look like lover.. Sorry, never meant that anyone anti-shonen-ai ..

Well I'll try "the glaring each other"-theme again next time....

The artist problem...
I buy new water color; sakura matt water color 24 colors, due to run out stock. My old water color sakura transparent 12 color doesn't exist anymore in any store, so I guess I have to try the new one (can't afford winsor & newton yet). It is hard to get used to this water color.. Surely I use poster color more than water color, and of course they need different technique, one needs a bunch of water...
IMHO, this sakura matt texture is almost as thick as poster color, but not as easy-smooth-blend as poster color . Then compare to the transparent one. This water color is just too thick and can't easily blend with water (just like poster color), it's difficult to do wet-on-wet... OH MY!!!!! When I try to make this illustration done in water color technique, it's very hard to control the flow of colors; accumulate at one side and can't go with the medium in the perfect amount (can't explain it ) "Okey then coz you just like poster color, to rescue the art, so let's get it on opaque technique", and... Yarrrrr!!!!! I can't get any smooth gradient T_T... Oh noo, is it my fault or I just simply don't get used to this new water color. This sakura matt is hard to blend! Especially when I try to blend two color on the paper, let say, purple and black... then the purple seems like "go away" from the black one... never feel like this with my old-run-out-watercolor... This sakura matt quite expensive anyway (when I think to stop using it and buy the winsor one).. I wonder how winsor & newton's feels like
Anyway, actually, I like this illustration's sketch. Try to make it in color, and I need 6 HOURS ONY COLORING IT!!!!!!!!! it just A4 sized... I've prepared for the color thumbnail... moreover.. it's not colorful .... I'm not happy with the result, sorry Neji-kun itachan T_T
Anyone, watercolor user, I need advice. Is my watercolor is the bad one, or I just don't understand how to use it?
