My Dabblings in Watercolor Pencils/novice tips
The above is a picture from the coloring book Po drugiej stronie snu by Karolina Kubikowska. I used watercolor pencils. I feel I'm slowly becoming more adept with these. I have the small twelve pack of koh i noor Mondeluz pencils. Always been a big fan of koh i noor a and these are no exception. Now to upgrade to the larger set, because 12 just aint cutting it.
I started with a small set to see if I would even like it. The following imagery is other things I've watercolored, but the roses are my best work. In order the first is just a dabbling of mine that kinda looks like outdoor hanging lights, the other two are from mindful color and DC Comics Wonder woman coloring book. (Side note - i eventually plan to have the whole back of toys clipboard covered )
I love art and I'm an avid colorist looking into and dabbling with more advanced things. It's a very therapeutic and fun process.
So far a few little beginer/novice tricks:
- buy yourself a cheap variety pack of brushes in all sizes. You'll be glad you did. Learned that the hard way.
- don't use too much water - it will buckle the paper, learned that the hard way too
- laying your color down first then dipping your brush in the water and going over it is the best way FOR ME though some dip the pencil in the water
Excellent. Perhaps create more "process oriented" posts. I bet users would love to see those.
Thanks! That's a good idea. I often forget to take work in progress shots since i don't know my direction sometimes.
I suffer from the same problem.
you're another colorist? this is awesome to meet another on here
I do play with color sometimes yes.
