ellerHave a watermelon! It's summer (where I live, anyway), after all! XD
Completely with acrylic pens this time, partially diluted with water and paintbrush. The suuuper wide black acrylic pen was a gift from Emily Adams who sent me a very generous art supply care package (with some awesome things I still need to post!) a while ago. I like pens with wide tips, but drawing with this one (look at the picture...) turned out to be kind of extreme. XD Nothing wrong with it, though - it's a very nice pen, I just have to get used to it.
From a technical standpoint, the drawing was a failure: initially, I wanted to make this without any red paint, just the paper background color with white and black (and, obviously, green for the green parts), but it simply did not look right, so I had to use a red and a pink pen on the melon slice. Oh, and I learned the hard way that the paper doesn't like water - it buckled quite a bit. (So, no watercolor sketches in this book, I'm afraid...) I kind of like the end result, though: it's every bit as cliché-summery as intended.
Materials:
- suuuper awesome sketchbook; a red page again
- Acrylic pens: Marabu Art Painter in black, Uni Posca PC-5M in white, Amsterdam Acrylic Markers in Yellowish Green, Permanent Green Light, Pyrrole Red and Permanent Red Violet Light
