in all my years of drawing ive never heard of frisket. O___O; this opens a whole new world for me. i saw tutorial on instagram i think, where someone used like a paper type frisket and cut out the exact shapes they wanted to mask the rest of the artwork, so the hair or whatever would come out perfect. (like with an airbrush) ive been dieing to know what these tools are! you helped me unravel at least a small part of that mystery.

I've got a question! You used acrylic for your background. When you start on the characters, you switch to watercolor, right? ;3;

Hello, I am wondering what brand of watercolor paper you were using here or that you normally use nowadays? Mine first book did not absorb the water well and the paper surface kind of rubbed off once I used too much water/layering on to of it.Β

I have a question. I am finally going to try using watercolor w/copics so I do the background in watercolor and the people with copics-so I was wondering how do you clean a brush after you use frisket? Because I used hot water and soap but I guess I didn't clean it well enough and it dried on the brush =__=; So is there any special way to clean the frisket brush so it doesn't ruin the brush?

darksnowolf In reply to princeofrose [2013-01-04 01:33:41 +0000 UTC]

i've heard frisket/maskingfluid literally is almost impossible to get off a brush which is why you use an old brush, it's the same reason why you use an old brush for gesso. fluids like this are hard/gluey/meant to be waterproof etc etc. so no luck i guess, buy more brushes?

Yeah thankfully it was a really cheap brush so it doesn't matter XD Thank goodness I used my cheap brush haha

Also did you do the lineart for this picture in blue pencil or blue pen? I usually lineart my work but I like the way yours turned out better

princeofrose [2012-11-08 23:40:51 +0000 UTC]

Is it bad if I decide to put masking fluid on the whole person instead?
Or can I do that so I can be super lazy and just drag my brush across the whole page instead of around the persON?

darksnowolf In reply to princeofrose [2013-01-04 01:34:31 +0000 UTC]

masking fluid ( i read this in another tutorial) doesn't come off in large areas (it will RIP the fibers off your paper.) so no. dont.

princeofrose In reply to darksnowolf [2013-01-04 01:56:37 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I learned that the hard way-I didn't paint it on the person i painted around but for some reason a little bit still ripped D:<
Ah well it still looked nice in the long run I just need to get more used to applying masking fluid better...or get a smaller brush or something because the brush I used was kinda big
Thanks!

So do you like, mix the watercolor(tubes) with water on the palette or do you apply water to the paper and just put the watercolor there? -is a beginner-
