Description Traditional inverted drawing of the carnivorous plant Utricularia quelchii. This is my favourite plant, so I decided to draw it again to create a new avatar. My first avatar was an edited version of my U. quelchii drawing from 2007 by the way (fav.me/d17mswx ... my first deviation on dA ). Now you also know why my dA name is "Quelchii".
This method is very helpful if you want to draw something with a black background and many droplets (white points/reflections = black dots on paper). Usually I post the photo of the drawing and the inverted drawing side by side, but not this time. If you want to know how this looks on paper you just have to invert (negative) the colours of this picture in a program like Photoshop.

Reference picture of Utricularia quelchii {Auyan Tepui} by me.

Paper (no name) DIN A4 190g/m²; Faber-Castell Polychromos artists' colour pencils, Copic Ciao marker, Copic Multiliner SP 0.03; time: 5 hours

Vielen Dank!

Irgendwie verstehe ich beim letzten Satz nicht ganz was gemeint ist ("scale" hat zu viele Bedeutungen). Was genau soll hinter den Brakteen sein?

Ah ok! Da waren zum Glück keine Blattläuse drauf. Es sind nur Wassertropfen zu sehen (und mein Namenskürzel).

Upps. Da hat wohl ein Smiley gefehlt?
Aber ohne Witz: Ich habe mal ganz tolle Blütenbilder gemacht und erst viel später ist mir dann aufgefallen, dass auf den Blüten alles voller Blattläuse war! Bin was das betrifft also ein gebranntes Kind!

Verdammt... Ich hätte vielleicht mal einen Blick in deine Galerie werfen sollen (wobei dann wieder "Tepui-Neid" aufkommt)!!!

So kam also dein Username zustande, aha!
Ich frag mich bei diesen Falschfarbenbildern immer:
Du malst die auf das Papier doch in den "falschen" Farben, sodass wenn man es in PS umkehrt, die naturgetreuen Farben erscheinen, richtig?
Wie machst du das, dass genau die richtige Nuance von pink erscheint und du nicht beim invertieren feststellen musst "Mist, ich hab die falsche Farbe genommen, jetzt ist es viel zu orange!" (zB).
Das frag ich mich schon ne ganze Zeit ^^

Quelchii In reply to Woodswallow [2015-05-26 20:28:41 +0000 UTC]

Genau. Ich male sozusagen das "Negativ". Das ist eine gute Frage. Man muss den Farbton halt genau treffen... bisher hat es auch immer geklappt (bei diesem Bild musste ich natürlich besonders auf den Grünton achten). Manchmal mache ich aber zwischendurch ein WIP Foto und kehre es in Photoshop zu Kontrolle um (das dient meistens aber eher dazu, um Fehler in Gesichtern zu finden).

Aah ok...ja, also - magic
Mit Erfahrung und Übung wird es sicherlich einfacher mit der Zeit.

All this time, I thought your old avatar was that photo on google images.
Well, this is a beautiful drawing! & it makes for a very good avatar for you! I can see why you drew this inverted...that's a lot of detail. You're a very good photographer too.
Now it's my turn to change my avatar!  By the way, you flipped your avatar horizontally...do you just like it better that way, or what?
