WARNING: Huge file! DOWNLOAD to full view! Sorry for the crappy JPG, I used it to reduce the file size.

I painted this one for :iconstrictlycomedrawing:, I was supposed to make a tutorial on how I use my favorite media.

So here it is, a tutorial on how I use watercolors and inks.
If you have any further questions, please ask. ^^

Pose inspired by :iconsenshistock:'s wonderful stock art.

Awesome! I love learning techniques that other people use. If I use water colours in class we use watered down gouache (think thats how it's spelle) I only use Winsor and Newtown for inking large areas in black since they can get expensive if you're going be be using multiple colours and not that often. xD

This is very useful as I'm always looking for other methods of watercolours. I'm not game enough to put any of my traditional media work on here for the same reasons that my scanner can't pick up shades of blue and a camera doesn't do it justice. But I love the idea of using drawing gum and white markers for light specks and white details, great idea! I want to ask you if you know if white gouache would work just as well or do you think the masking fluid and markers give a better result?

I use white poster color, as you have seen, which is about the same thing as white gouache. ;) Basically you can use anything that leaves white traces, lol. I used to use white nail polish or correction fluid when I didn't have anything else. :P The best thing to do is to experiment. ^^

Yeah, my two sets of Winsor and Newton inks cost around 40 EUR (60 USD or so). The watercolors were about 7 EUR, but that is because I use oly a basic set. But I like to use traditional media, so I allowed myself that luxury. XD
