Description Yet another subject of me testing different techniques with my two favorite mediums; watercolor and colored pencil.

This time nostalgia hit and I went back and tried my hand at inking pens again.I really like the effect but I do not like how permanent the inks are! haha. So many mistakes were made, but trial and error I guess!

The subject is Kotutora, my ninja-dog character. He looks too much like a wolf here ^^ He's actually a shikoku-ken, a japanese breed. Chest is too deep and nose too big o3o Oh well.

Watercolor and colored pencil on Bristol (This was also a test to see how watercolor handled on Bristol paper, and it was horrible. I'll stick to watercolor paper from now on!)

Just curious, what kind of bristol paper did you use? I have found some bristol papers are really weak and just fall apart when you paint on them with watercolours ( strathmore uggh! ), but I've been using Canson smooth bristol for over a year now -- it really holds up to watercolour and its perfect for coloured pencils as well.

I used Strathmore Bristol smooth (or perhaps vellum) The watercolor ended up not doing too well on it (bristol doesnt soak up water like watercolor paper does, the pigment just sort of sat on top XD) I had no problem with it falling apart though.
