It’s World Watercolor Month! In these pictures I used watercolor pencils and a water brush. I started out drawing the red hair of the girl sitting in front of me and trying to figure out which colors I would add in for the shadows and highlights. I went a little overboard on the purple in the second one. Then I drew Zeno’s dragon scaled arm and loved it so I had to draw the rest of him! The friend who was sitting next to me asked me if he was eating an apple, so I tried to make his medallion more medallion-y but I can’t tell if it worked because I can’t unsee the apple. :\ I love the red and yellow on his hands and arms, though! Overall the effect is quite nice. I struggle with over-rendering sometimes. I get pictures to a certain point and then I try to ‘push it’ and they end up muddy and garbled. So for this month I’m going to focus on not over-rendering and making sure I understand the light in my pictures.
