Test Post. Nothing all that cool here.

Stuff used:

I used a pencil, fountain pen with black ink.

two brush pens, one with a fine point, one with a not so fine point, then colored it with watercolor and then hit some highlights with some white Windsor-Newton white ink.

Game Plan:

Quick Art for the blog . Nothing to extreme and zero planning. So obviously the final result also shows that.

Sketch :

It's time for the pencil and paper part. I threw in some flowing lines.

Did some scribbling, found some shapes that I liked, than darkened them up, you know standard pencil sketching stuff. Once I'm happy with that I did a little bit of detail work around the spots to show some depth.

Ink:

Now that I'm happy with the sketch, or happy enough. It's time to hit it with some ink. I'm using this fountain pen I got out of Amazon. It's not really all that bad. It's got a fine tip to it and it's refillable so I can pick whatever color I want. This time I'm using black.

Watercolor:

Now that the ink is dry, it's time to throw on the color. I started with yellow, it's light,

it's easy to cover up, and that's why I do it. I gradually build up from yellow to some oranges, then I hit some spots with blue, spots where I obviously overlap with blue and yellow, make green. Then I hit some highlights with red, then darken some spots with red and blue, making purple for the shadows.

Other than that, that's pretty much it.

Once it's all dry, then I come in afterwards with the Windsor-Newton white ink to lighten up spots that I slipped up with with the watercolor,

let it dry, piece is done. That's a quick little art piece from me.

Rating / Improvement ?:

Now that it's done and I look at it.

I'm gonna give it a 2/10 .Definitely not my best work, seeing as I just want to slap something together for a blog post as a start to figure out a .work flow.

Uh, improvements, improvements, um, hmm, well, a planning phase would be heck of a lot smarter.

Not going quick is definitely a key.

Now I would say the best improvement I could do for this would be...

to erase this blog and starting a new one. lol

end of Blog, Justin out.
