lemon sherbet dragon

i restarted the dragon.  this time i inked all the lines with a felt tip .005 pen and most of that jittery line work is due to how hard i grip the pen (i am not quite relaxed with the medium yet)

after the inks i got my BIG set of watercolor brushes and started putting down all the underpainting colors.  once that is done then i will go over it with gouache and hopefully have a nice painterly painting in the end 

if this looks the way i want it too then i will try the same kind of process for oils.  use tracing paper to transfer my image to a canvas.  ink the image, do an acrylic underpainting with several translucent layers THEN finish it with ink

i wish i could have more success with a looser method but i think i need to do things with this rigid step by step method to get any real progress

but this time i did it on purpose, since it is watercolor starting out yellows and oranges are my lightest colors.

you ... really like your yellow bases 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Sorry, just riffing here. But yeah, as you said, this second try is coming out much better.
