Trying a new effect
Nov. 26th, 2003 12:02 amOK, I admit, the eyes are getting kinda ridiculously big.
( Melorne sketch, watercolor effect )
I’m trying something new here, using a water-soluble marker (black Staedtler brush marker) and then going in with a water brush and pulling out tones. It’s a nice effect. I picked it up from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mishmow (though she used a Tombo marker), and she got it from Enrico Casarosa. Also, I used thick Japanese cold-press watercolor paper, and she used Strathmore drawing paper.
Now I think I need to get a bigger watercolor pad. No, wait, I think I’ve got some hot-press pads around somewhere. And, hm. OK, the little cold-press pad I used here, a Holbein Multi-Drawing Book, was size OF, about 7.5 x 5.75 inches. The bigger one I’ve already got is size 3F, 9 x 10.75 inches. That oughta do; I shouldn’t need to go for the 10 x 13. (And when I googled for “Holbein Multi-Drawing Book”, the only hit I got was an entry in my own weblog.)
