Goodbye summer - making of

Hello friends,

Today i have some intermediate steps for Aitheria my 

OC of the "Goodbye Summer" Theme.

 

This is the sketch of the illustration. I made it on normal copy paper with HB pencil cause 

later on i will use my light table to get a clean version of it. ^_^

This is the part where i .partially inked the whole character with Rohrer & Klingner

burnt Sienna Ink on Canson Montval Watercolor Paper.

I descided that the main concentration should be on the violin and the play with the

leaves so i choose a very high contrast to the character. :D

At last i have a little trick for you. Sometimes i work with the good old salt

on the areas wich are still wet to get nice color flows in the background.

The salt i use here is simple Effect Salt. You can get it in an average 

Drawing Shop.

After drying it should look like this. It is a very easy and nice

technique so just give it a try on your comming projects. ;)

Have fun

Making of Sailor Merkur with Watercolors

Hi friends ;)

Like promised here are some intermediate stages of my Sailor Merkur fanart. I also used the Dr. PH. Martins concentrated watercolors that are often used from famous japanese shoujo mangaka. They are well known for their intense colors and warm touch. i personally love to draw with them. For the background i used Jaxell pastels ;)

Have fun ;)
