Rawr!
Hey all!
Just thought I would give you all some sneaky previews of what I am working on. Those who have me on faceybooky may have already seen them.
WIP 1 - The sketch. Simple 5h sketch which was later topped up with B and cleaned up.
WIP 2 - The Water colours. Looks pretty messy here, but that was the idea, of course it is not going to be left like this. The watercolour paint was mainly for the background, but it makes for a nice effect under the pencils, like using coloured paper basically.
WIP 3 - Penicils I have now begun to top up the piece with my trust Faber-Castell Polychromos and WHSmith's Colouring pencils, which blend together so beautifully. Here you can see the tail partially coloured and some of the underbellyy (its faint but it's there) I also added some pencil colouring to highlight the bubbles ^^.
This is a challenge I have set for myself and I would love to hear your opinions of this new technique I am trying out. Just comment below on either of the WIP's or all of them as a whole, I would really appreciate any critique - be it good or bad!
For time frames this has taken a while, I probs spent about 30 mins getting the pose right and goining over lines. Watercolouring didn't take long, probs about 10 mins but would have been quicker if I had a larger paintbrush. and the pencil work on the bubbles, tail and underlayer on the underbelly had took me about 90 mins using a total of.... 12 pencils :D Phew that's a lot of pencils for that tiny bit.

Oooh, it does look lovely! The effect of the watercolour is pretty special, and your colouring with the pencils is already looking to turn out great. I'll shall look forward to seeing the finished piece :3
