blossoming

i did a bunch of sketches today to add some more variety rather then just finishing up old projects.  

im also thinking that i just get up to the simple flat colors on these and then release them after a few weeks as advertisement images to try and get more interest in my sites as  i still have not done much to get new people interested

oddettes village update

a friend of mine told me that if you mix rubbing alcohol with acrylics it helps smooth it out.  i tried mixing it with acrylic ink and it made it feel like markers but dried WAY too fast for what i was doing

ceninks

after a couple of tries i got down my process for these.  after  i print out the digital sketch at very low resolution i go over it with a 2H pencil, adding in the details i want to just hint at. then i go over the lines i want darker with a 2B. then i add in the shadows (this time in purple) and THEN i finish up the color

fox and knight update

thinking about what i wrote yesterday.  the inking part is more fun if its the final step for color like with blossom.  when its the underpainting i want to be fast loose and "general" just giving myself an indication of what colors i will need and where my lights and darks will be

fox and knight update

one of my online friends said this set looks like its made of candy.  and yeah i can see that but now the fun part begins. the gouache part

fox and knight update

is there a song called "purple sky"?  because i feel there should be.  and the further along these get the more i feel some 70s  "trippy music" should be playing

more wilding color 

View Post

fox and knight update

getting down some more wild colors.  now it looks rather pink due to my scanner saturating up the reds so near the end i will color shift just a tad towards the blues to the purple in the sky looks right

Mina Mishra update

added a burnt sienna wash but Simmone wants her more sepia then green so now i move on to the acryla gouache section to sepia-fy Miss Mishra

purple skies

i have been wanting to paint with my inks and acryla so much that i grabbed a bunch of the pencils from the folios i didn't finish so i can start laying down some color.  these are going to be CRAZY when im done with them so buckle up and keep you eyes peeled

misha messup and restart

i messed up the colors for the first image so i reprinted the base lines again and instead of inking i finished the linework in pencil then i took a lot more time putting down the colors to get a lot closer to what i originally envisioned. i need to add a few more washes of ink before i move to the acryla gouache stage
