Day 8 is a slow-moving mermaid who allows coral to grow on her body. Okay so... there is a story behind this mess. I realised my felt tip pens blend very well with water and I wanted to try painting with them, but they’re all very bright, saturated colours so I needed a brightly coloured mermaid, and all I could think of was coral, and I ended up with something MUCH too complicated to colour with a medium I’ve never tried before. Unfortunately I only realised my error about halfway through so I just had to finish it. That’s why the colouring is... not the best. Hey ho, this is how we learn. -____- (The coralmaid might show up again later, since I feel like I let her down a bit.)
Day 13 is based on a cartoon character, can you guess which one? This is another one using water-soluble felt tips, I think I’m starting to get the hang of it! On my instagram there’s a photo of how it looks before the water: https://www.instagram.com/p/BxZwKlIlR4n/
I forgot to post my mermaids! NOOO! For day 14 I asked Sammy what I should draw, and she said Gumball to match Darwin from the day before. I didn’t have any better ideas so here he is! He’s a catfish, of course. I think I’m getting somewhere with the water-and-felt-tips combination, but I haven’t worked out how to get muted colours yet.
It’s finally time for my favourite art challenge of the year! I did a little cover page yesterday to celebrate. I have a full-time job for the first time, so I’m going to have to do all my pieces in 90 minutes or less, because that’s all the time I can squeeze in before work. How is this going to turn out?
Day 1 - ink and water
Spider often ‘falls asleep’ in lessons, but he isn’t always sleeping.
This is water-soluble ink spread around with a waterbrush. I’ve never tried using it on only some parts of the picture before.
It's an illustration for Grimm's fairy tale "The Pack of Ragamuffins" in progress.
