Totally Hooked on Watercolor Painting (Artwork #22) | A Step-by-step Illustration

in #ocd-resteem6 years ago

Hi guys! I'm back again to share another artwork of mine which is again inspired by the Hieu Nguyen's artworks, an Instagram artist and a YouTuber who I admire so much because of his whimsical style in painting. Before I introduce my artwork, I would just want to thank everyone for the support and love. You guys are amazng!

So, here it is, my 22nd artwork here in steemit. This took me 4 hours to finish. I'm glad that the process was smooth sailing. Constant practice really pays off, guys. I don't have much to say though, because again, it was smooth sailing for me and I did not have a rough time painting unlike in my previous artwork (Click here to view) in which even though I managed to somehow make it look nice and neat but as the song We are the Champions goes, "I've had my share of sand kicked in my face". Enough chit-chat, here goes the materials and process. 😊

Materials

All photos are mine and I used my Oppo A37 in taking these pictures. And the materials that I used were:
✔️ Pentel Arts Color Pencils
✔️ White Pen
✔️ Water
✔️ Tissue
✔️ Watercolor set
✔️ Paintbrushes
✔️ Eraser
✔️ HB Staedtler pencil
✔️ Berkeley watercolor pad
✔️ 0.3 Fine Tech Pen

Process

I did the sketch.

Then I applied the base colors using watercolor all over her skin and onto her hair, respectively.

While waiting for the watercolor on the hair to dry, I started adding details and shadows on the skin. I darkened her lips and also, I painted some color on her eyes and brows. Now the watercolor on her hair is dry, I then painted another layer over it.

A lot of things happened here. I applied watercolor to her dress, and also applied another layer of color on her hair and brows. Then, I did the background. After the all the watercolors are dry, I used color pencils to further add details on the shadows and color of her skin.

Then I started inking which I enjoy and fear the most. LOL. I used my 0.3 Fine-Tech Pen. After I was done with the inking, I followed up the details on her dress using a color pencil, because I thought they were quite boring without patterns.

Lastly, I finished it up with highlighting using my Signo White Pen.
