nice I am back with a new video and this is going to be
another video for my style exploration series
this time I will be exploring watercolor pencils
sup let's get started
I've never actually come across
a fashion illustration done in watercolor pencil
so finding an artistic inspiration was hard
I ended up looking through our works that or not fashion illustrations
but they were still done with watercolor pencils
or at least that's what it said on the description
and I used to not like the pencil marks that would
still be visible even when you didn't lay down the water to blend the pencil
together to create the watercolor effect
however when I saw some the artworks
when I went and searched up for watercolor pencil art
I actually really like the effect had and I wanted to use that technique
in my own fashion illustration and see if I would end up changing my mind
and liking it I also found in some fashion illustrations
done with watercolors and pencils not necessarily
watercolor pencils but it gave of the same effect
as the other artworks I've seen so far so I took that
as an inspiration the problem was that
I found the artwork and click the link but it didn't take me to a blog or a
website
which showed the name of the artist the illustrations
didn't even happen artist signature so I unfortunately do not know who created
those beautiful fashion illustrations I really like the style as well so it
would have been so great
I were able to find out who the artist wise you guys know who the artist is for
these illustrations
I would appreciate it if you would let me know other ways
that's alright I guess so
the idea had in mind for this particular illustration
was that for the skirt court I would try and use
that technique I saw on the Internet and you will see me do that later but for
now
this is the good old sketching part entrance bring the sketch
onto the watercolor paper using at the light box
with your YouTube main steps in Nigerian process
I mean if you guys have been watching my videos you always
see me do this the rough sketch and the lightbox
than the clean sketch it gets a little bit repetitive
but that's my process I don't really think
I change up my sketching process sins
I haven't thought other ways our method aside from this current one
besides this sketching process really works for me so I might
stick to it for a while
okay now we're in the coloring process
and I think it's quite self-explanatory hell to
use watercolor pencils I mean you lay down the pencil on the page
and you can if you want add water to the pencil marks using a brush
then you get the watercolor effect what I tend to do
is if the page is still down I collar with the pencil so that I get
really saturated lines which helped create the shading in the picture
in time to see me do that in the video itself
watercolor pencils I am using
are by the way a really crappy and cheap quality watercolor pencils
some you guys might know that summer-like art supplies
or cheat and not even artist quality materials
and like some other than are from the dollar store
sometimes with those cheat art materials it's a hit and miss
so far I've been pretty lucky to score decent quality art materials for a
bargain have a deal
but for this one it was just
miss the brand is or L
I dull recommended all
I've honestly never heard the brand the forward but
I got this set as pencils when I was 13 or 14 years old
and it's the only set watercolor pencils I have in my
art supply stash so this is what I'm using
for this video I feel like the quality did effect
the way the illustration came out in the end you can kinda see
that the colours or not vibrant and
I found it really hard to make the colors bright
however speaking on a positive note about how this illustration came out
I only really late how I colored the skin
and that's about it I don't like how to dress came out it looks
way to lacked the here is all great but I feel like I could have done better
with it
all with the skin I used
the pencil to outline and
and I love how it turned out originally I was going to use my black while a near
like how I did with my previous videos for this series
but when I play Stillwater and started creating the
watercolor effect on the skin the brown but I used
was somehow pushed aside instead being blended with the flesh color
technically that would it be
ideal for a watercolor pencil because you want the colors to blend together
instead
being pushed aside but because that happened
it created a subtle outline on the skin
and I thought that looked awesome so in the end
i emphasize the outline by going over
the jury in with the watercolor pencil but that time
I left it dry and didn't at the water that was kinda like my
happy accidents I did the same thing for the hair
and address but it didn't turn out the same way
hands so why am not too happy about it
I also added some pink colors to the knees and shoulders
kinda like a blast I might have overdone the shoulders at it
but I really like companies turned out which
sounds odd saying out loud but I might write out again for future artworks
actually seen a lot
manga artists and illustrators do that further drains which is why I wanted to
give it a try
it kind of gives some sort I'll innocent
look to a character ask for the skirt
I'm going to briefly talk about the technique I try
so from the artworks I saw on the Internet
it looks like they started by coloring with the pencils in streaks
then added water on top exact
so it kind of gave a soft wash
with the pencil streaks showing underneath
I tried that the first time but the pencils
ended up blending too much
with the water so what I did was that while the paper was wet
I redrew the pencil marks which
made the lines appear more vibrant
I think the technique would work well for hair
and when rendering tool
or maybe a really nice we did
texture so overall
I'm fine with this exploration its
not something I would like to continue to be honest
but maybe if I got better quality watercolor pencils
I would have a different and better experience
the only thing i'm taking away from this however is how I colored the skin which
I can't get enough I'll anyway
that is it for this video I hope you guys enjoyed
