Uncertain if I like this (typical artist conundrum… loving the process but conflicted with the result) but I’m glad I can Move On
#my art#trying to speed up the process of art making#bc it always takes me SO LONG#mostly bc I’m at Work#or distracted by other things#I also get so nitpicky#when it comes to details and lighting and whatnot#anyway this is gouache and watercolor#if anyone was wondering…

silly european men with an affinity for silly outfits (release traffic please)
i just want you to know that the background goes over to the other page a little bit and i think it kinda looks cool
my newer followers probably didn't know that drawing characters in this cartoony style with inks and watercolours used to be my bread and butter :D i mean, i still draw in this style quite a bit, i just don't post it that much

Later, Bruce finds him climbing the cave to join the bats.
#dick grayson#robin#alfred pennyworth#fanart#my art#traditional art#watercolor#colored pencils#I'm going to rant in 3... 2... 1...#omg I'm so pissed at how poorly this end up looking#I worked on this for so long and I all fucked it up because I couldn't paint the background well#I do not know how to use colors it's frustrating#I know color theory by heart like I have this shit memorizes#but I'm someone who needs examples to apply theory and all color theory stuff never goes into how to apply it to your art#outside the really contrasting illustrations#also all tutorials for illustration are for digital art and every watercolor tutorial is for landscape and I'm jrcbuyezrcufnqud#watercolor in illustration is not a new thing I came up with#anyway I used gouache to fade the background and it is still so bad#but I spent so much time on this I cannot just throw it away#the miniature I drew was so good and I made garbage why am i so bad at this??????#one day maybe I will draw it again better because I really like this idea

#canute#vinland saga#watercolor#my art#Made it to try out several things#These things are masking fluid (liked it! super cool!!)#colored pencils my sister gave me a year ago#and watercolors that I'm so afraid of using and use them twice a year maybe#I desperately love watercolors#but they are such an unpredictable material unlike gouache#anyway i did it thanks to moral support from my friend😂#and... I liked it!#both process and the result

Why yes, I DID decide to be extra as fuck for an office drawing contest that isn't that serious in the first place, thank you for asking.
The last one is the original before I had to get new watercolor pads cuz the off-brand (Arteza) shit decided to warp the paper and smudge the graphite
Stick with Strathmore kids, they know what they're talking about
#if you're wondering how i got the exact shape/drawing onto the pad paper#you can make your own transfer sheet using tracing paper a dark graphite pencil and turpentine#also i need to remember to take more progress shots#the gradation looked more obvious i swear#anyway#watercolors#gouache#pumpkins#jack o lanterns#halloween#work

#text#polls#im rly curious abt this#i havent painted in foreverrr :{ i took an oil painting class that i loved but working with paint that never dries was difficult#but also helpful to be able to wipe it off even like a week after i fucked up lol#i liked it tho !! i wish id gotten to spend more time on my final bc it was so fun but i wasnt quite done#literally went in with a paint pen like last month to touch up some stuff#might go try and finish it fully but idkkkk. i dont have oil paints so id have to do it in acrylic and idk how easy itd be#ANYWAy#ive never worked with ink before and i only have worked with oil paint in that class#but the other three ive used a lot and when it comes to on Paper and not canvas#acrylic dries fast which is difficult for me#and watercolor dries slow bc. thats water. and it doesnt always go where i want it to#so usually i prefer gouache bc its a little thicker but not too thick and it dries quick but not too quick. a happy medium#just like goldilocks#on canvas tho i usually prefer acrylic#i think bc i get scared to use up my gouache paints on a bigger canvas#^saying all this and i havent painted in months. </3#im not even particularly good at it i just like it. makes me happy#waugh. its nice out today maybe i'll go out and paint :} it miught rain tho#so who knows

when the only emotion you can feel with your art is catharsis by doing something destructive to it 🤪

do you use gouache when you paint? i'm not very familiar with painting or paints but i want to learn and i really like the colours and general feeling of all your paintings and i think that i might like to learn to use that material as well
I have used gouache in paintings, but not the ones I’ve posted this summer. The lake creature and the canvas w a hole was painted w acrylic, the rest in aquarelle/watercolor! Out of the two of them acrylic is the most forgiving for me lol, since it dries fast and you can paint over any mistakes. Watercolor is either really relaxing or hell on earth, as it dries slowly and you can never paint lighter colors on darker colors, so you need to know which spots that you want brighter and use as little paint as possible in those spots, and the colors spread out when the paper is wet, which can create really cool effects!
#ty anon I hope your painting journey goes well :)#you can hop into dms if there’s anything you’re wondering about regarding paint#gouache is pretty similar to acrylic in the way that the colors are pretty opaque#but it’s also similar to watercolor in the way that you can reactivate the color using water on the painted surface#the thing that makes gouache unique to me is that the paper gets an almost leathery finish when it dries#quick warning tho that acrylic dries a few shades darker than when you first apply#I’m pretty sure that’s the case w gouache as well#uhhh anyways hope this was helpful???
