Hello fellow goons. Haven't posted in a while. Looking to get back. Here's some recent stuff.     I think these could use some extra work but after a while I'm just like "gently caress it, that's enough".

Everything by Neon Noodle is really cool and well made. Nice work also, everyone. Really high quality works in the thread. Here's a recent drawing of mine.  Didn't really go where I wanted but it's alright.

Sharpest Crayon posted:Drawing frogs looked like fun so I had to draw a frog, too. haha awesome I love it. "I'll have your money by tomorrow I swear, frogwina" It is fun actually to draw cartoon anthropomorphic animals. Very relaxing. Here's one from last night. I remembered I have this watercolor sketchbook and I figured I'd try to improve my watercolor technique. As I draw I imagine myself to be like one of those victorian era ladies drawing kittens having tea.

Weird West undead hunter. Doing more watercolor practice. Watercolors are cool I should really just go over some basic techniques resources but too lazy somehow to make less work for myself. Did you know you can lift pigment while it's wet with some tissue and make highlights?

a hole-y ghost posted:I'm glad you found watercolors, this is really great stuff! Honestly with your style I'd have assumed you already knew how to use them. Ha, thanks! You know I thought about it and the way the medium lends itself to successive transparent layers really reminded me of how I work digitally.

I've decided that I need to do more better cute things and it might help my marketability. Here's a kitty cat.

Theokotos posted:It looks like someone is reaching in from out of frame and adjusting his hat; I kind of love it. I can see it. Maybe it's his mom, they meet randomly on the street and he's like "geez mom I'm a grown up alien pod-lobster person I can fix my own hat". Sharpest Crayon posted:... haha lmao that's cool I need to draw it. "what is this coffin, mid 1890's?" [makes puking gesture] The manservant can be like another supernatural creature maybe? Your comics is very nice. I'll have to check out the comic thread then.

dog nougat posted:Haven't posted, or hell even drawn anything in a really long drat time. Been loving around with hands and doing weird shading exercises. I like! Really wanna figure out how to get good coverage/blending with the colored pencils because I have a lot of them from way back in the day.

dog nougat posted:Those colors are on point. What kind of colored pencils are you using? Higher quality colored pencils will give better coverage and be a lot more layer-able than cheaper ones. I personally really like Caran D'ache's pencils. Really highly pigmented, with minimal binder. They also make a pigmentless blending stick that helps to make the colors pop a bit more as well as blending obviously. Their products aren't cheap, but in my experience they're pretty much the highest quality colored pencils around. Thanks. I see some people's work online with colored pencils and am regularly blown away. I used Faber Castell Polychromos and then went over that with Caran D'ache Luminance. The medium is 100% cotton bristol which really takes the abuse of my heavy handed technique well. I tried using isopropyl alcohol for blending on the first layers but it wasn't that great. I also tried the stick which I have a couple pieces of but I'm not sure if it helped, did nothing or made it worse. I think I need some special blending solution my main issue is that even with isopropyl the bristol starts getting wavy. Maybe I should glue it to some backing? Ideas and tips welcome.

dog nougat posted:I mean your coverage looks really good to me, but I'm looking at it on a tiny phone screen. It's possible that you've hit the limits of what you can do with the medium really. Paint has 100% coverage, but loses that loose feel of pencil. Not sure how well it'd really work, but have you thought about doing a simple underpainting in watercolor and them covering in pencil once it's dried? You still run the risk of paper curl and some general unevenness of your drawing surface. Oh I been using Strathmore 500 plate finish with a good weight to it. I was remarking that it withstood the rough handling very well. Maybe taping it up will do the trick. I've been wanting to try out some hot press arches watercolor paper, that's defo one of the things to get someday. In the meantime I have a block of Strathmore 400 watercolor paper I can use. I'll try stretching it and see how it goes. A couple more(on Kraft paper)   My phone-cam doesn't take such a good pic tho. Gotta go fast

That gouache is tight. Any more technical know-how sources? Gouache looks like a great tool but I have no idea what I'm doing. Dog Nougat - I like the logo and concept but maybe there's too much space between the L and the apostrophe. Meanwhile...
