Art In Progress

A sheet of Pikachu sticker’s I made for a customer’s child.

Sketched in Photoshop, printed it, inked with a Tombow Fudenosuke brush pen and scanned back in. Still haven't decided what else I wanna do with it, so I'm uploading it here now.

It does look better in real, I guess I don't know how to scan images anymore :-)

Water color inks.

My first portrait, I'm super happy it got as well as it got, but I know there are lots of things to better :-)

Got "wolf priestess" from ArtPrompts.org

This is oil, but water-oil. So no white spirit or terebenthine, just water!

I have never tried oil or even gouache or acrylic, or making a "realistic" portrait before, I must say it's crazy fun!

You can go back, redo, move whole lines just by pushing the paint (I do tend to put down a ton of paint though) even days later!

Lots of work still to be done though.

Doing this has taught me how much time you save when you skip linework and go straight into painting.

I've been at this pretty much all day... Does drawing mechs take this long for everybody??????????

A sketch exploring a story idea for a prehistoric sci-fi that I don't think I'll be developing any further, at least anytime soon. Did a value pass to practice value structure though.

Mostly inked; fineliner

Trying to learn how to do these large flat color spaces in watercolours (well, watercolour-ink actually).

I got shown a "magic gum" that's supposed to remove watercolours, but i just left a big unremovable spot on the lower right side ... the more you learn!

It's all done using the "boring" orthogonal perspective (same size everywhere, lines are parallel, no vanishing point) because waiting is kind of boring I guess!

Fabriano 300gr hot pressed extra white A5, a nice little "block".

I use a Pentel P207 to sketch it out, then I inked with a fountain pen Lamy safari EF filled with Carbon Black ink (one of the true water resistant black inks that I know about that works in a fountain pen).

Coloring with Watercolor Pebeo Colorex inks, mostly mixing up Yellow, Cyan and Magenta with a Winsor & Newton Series 7 N°2 pencil.

Inspiration: Moebius "La faune de Mars"
