More experimentation in that ongoing project. Too bad I screwed up the sky :(
I'm learning a lot about working with watercolors, and experimenting with different sketching and inking techniques. For this one, I sketched in red since I knew I wanted the final color palette to be reddish, and very lightly inked with some red acrylic ink to preserve the lines.. pretty much poured water over the whole thing and started plopping down color and letting it bleed around. After I went in and refined the paints, I re-inked parts of the character to create lighter and darker areas of the line art, which helped (or I intended for it to) reinforce the line weight.
So! As with my last watercolor of Finder, it isn't quite what I was going for, but I learned a lot doing it and discovered some cool techniques along the way.

Wow! Great work! I think you did a wonderful job with watercolors. <3
If I may be so bold as to suggest; team Blotch uses this stuff called "masking fluid," which is pretty much this really awesome liquid latex that some artists use for watercolors. I've used it before and it is great! It may help you define certain items from the sky; it helps keep the sky looking smoother too. :)
Keep up the wonderful art!

Well, the sky *does* look extremely warm and so much so, that I can feel the air flimmering and the very little waves of wind pushing the heat even deeper every other moment.
Just... as offshoots.. because it`s evening :3
The red and it`s transition makes for a very lingering "mass", I feel. the one-dimensionality from red->yellow looks like there is just hot and really hot and horizontally the steady tone creates kind of a lingering(even) mass (hence the little heatweaves from what I first said I guess). For me that`s doing the trick.
May I ask what you had in mind?
