Description XD Watercolor assignment from Comic Painting class!

...Alright, that's not altered Sora or even tanned Riku (lol...joking folks), but they're Ren (the orange haired one) and Louise (he's *comichub OC, Rudy's younger brother btw). Apparently I'm back to be obsessed with them again that's why I chose them as the main subjects (or targets? LOL) for this project XD

I actually feel more comfortable working w/ watercolors than acrylics...old habit dies hard, I guess? XD

Thanks to Ecoline and Dr.Ph.Martin watercolor, the pigments are intense perfectly!!!!

This is very nicely done!! You got a comic painting class? that's freaking awesome!!! we'd never get something like that around here!! (because apparently, becoming a scientist is better. They don't give a shit about artists..but, another rant.another time..)

Those colors look beautiful and I like the story at this early stage. It really shows of their personalities well (especially the last frames lol). Keep at it; you do a marvelous job with water colors.

I read the second comic before this one...now I know they're brothers. I saw the second comic on the front page of Deviantart.

And I'd just like to say you're getting an A+ in your class.

Or definitely should

Are they shipwrecked, or is that just a big rock in the background? (Sorry )

I noticed the broken TV and the rock/ship though so I wondered...hmm, I guess I'll just find out more if there's a third one. They could just be exploring, though...

Well, keep it up and have fun in your class (it looks really fun; I doubt I could draw a comic...not a good comic anyway, especially not with watercolors).

Parya [2009-02-12 13:19:39 +0000 UTC]

my personal opinion is that i like the story with watercolors better than your one with acrylics.. just because i like the colors and the shadings more, it looks like its more easily drawn than the acrylics. and as i can read in your comment you like to work with it more aswell ^3^

Lady-Virgil [2009-02-11 16:03:41 +0000 UTC]

I adore how you use colors, just a question: do you use pencil, regular pencil, Hb, b, etc and then erase it or do you directly draw in color?
Because it's hard to do it that clean! There's no trace of black pencil there.
Beautiful.

Ecthelian In reply to Lady-Virgil [2009-02-11 18:06:35 +0000 UTC]

I used regular HB pencil and color on top of the line (not recommend to use 2B since it's smudging and gets dirty easily T__T).

Lady-Virgil In reply to Ecthelian [2009-02-12 20:43:23 +0000 UTC]

So you color the line, and don't erase it. And HB. Amazing, thank you.

OgawaBurukku [2009-02-11 06:39:37 +0000 UTC]

This is such a minute detail, but the position of the boy in the top panel being directly over the panel gutters (I think, I forget what they are called it English) like that makes for kinda bad composition >_< I would have positioned him a little more to the right.
