inspired by one of Kertesz’ distorted nudes

today’s task was to produce a drawing combining pencil and watercolour. (i’ve scanned the drawing and then added colour in photoshop)

decided to make another one for this task (pencil+watercolor) and am slightly more happy.

based on one random picture from the internet, same technique (real pencil, scan + digital watercolor)

ART RETREAT - our new drawing challenge!

Once in every 3 days me and Zhanna are going to produce an illustration using different online tutorials, trying new techniques and styles.

Day 0 (warm-up): http://www.zoepiel.com/tutorials/watercolor/

I haven’t got much time for this one so I have tried the technique rather quickly. Failed to install NKS5 on my Photoshop (latest NKS5 version is not compatible with latest Photoshop). Idea for the future: how to simulate ink pen?
