Hello there Steemers!!!
Well, as said, yesterday I received my set of Tombow brushes. I did JFK yesterday doing some minor waterbrushing, while today I wanted to go more extreme... and I think I went a little too far!!!
This is the stage where I liked the drawing best, and I should have kept it like that:
The white face showing the details and the white background giving it all more exposure was great ... WAS because, I fucked it up :(
I already had the drawing ready two days ago, when I draw JKF and Jimi in the same night.
I liked the face, but the sheet was too small to cover all the hair. So I took a bigger sheet of paper and took the old as a reference, going straight with the inking.
I almost never use this option that my desk offers, but it is fun :)
Finished with the face, the Tombow brushes came into the game. I didn't want to do the face with the tombow as I wanted it to look sharp. With the initial outline done the drawing looked like this.
Next step, some color... For what I had seen on yt regarding the tombow brushes, you can mix the colors with a waterbrush,... But never really done it, it was a bit of a jump in the dark... But I was confident enough that you can play a lot with the waterbrush so I did no effort in coloring in the drawing accurately... as you can see...
Looks awful, right? I Believe it or not, with only these colors I got the result you see in the first picture. The black when watered down becomes a kind of dark blue... and mixing all the colors together really is good fun!!!
BUT ,... as I am experimenting and sometimes I wanna overkill things,.. I went on with it ...
Not too bad either,... but I preferred the white one waaaaaaay more... That really is the only down side compared with digital drawing,... You can do whatever you want.
I will keep my Jimi as it is,... :))
Hope you liked it,if you do,please leave a comment!!
Ciao
