Today I practiced my inking and colouring.
Here is the sketch from yesterday:
After the sketch comes the ink:
I use a size 1 paint brush to do the inking, it gives me good control when I want to make lines thicker or thinner.
After the inking the lines, I start on the hair!:
I always enjoy inking the hair, it's always a therapeutic process just watching the brush paint over the blank spaces.
After that I start on the undertones:
After the undertones, I finally move onto the colour:
The skin is a mixture of Burnt Sienna and Vermilion. The Burnt Sienna is the brown. However it isn't enough to just have brown. Since Nani has red undertones, the Vermilion is added to give her the slightly red tone in her skin.
@LCT_m_a_d they have so many characters, sometimes it can be hard to pick just one! And thank you, I personally like the absence of sharp lines in the lilo&stitch art work.
@Black_Conscious I look forward to seeing what Disney characters your draw next! That mulan is brilliant, you really captured the colours well. Did you use a reference like a still (a paused image) from one of the films? Did you know Nani has a post of Mulan in her bedroom in the first lilo and stitch movie
@migxmeg & @Kelheor OMG, Stormlight fans
I just finished Rhythm of War end of last year. Do you have any favourite characters?
@Calculus_Homework thank you, i'm still get use to placing highlights. When it comes to watercolours, it's also a good habit to forward plan and leave areas white as well as using white ink for highlights
bit that's a bit hard for me atm
