Home Concentration 7

I am typically not one to outline my figures with black ink before adding color. I'm usually more drawn to the more natural style of coloring right on top of the sketch instead of doing line work prior. So for this piece, I wanted to try doing line art again and try to get some more practice with my Micron pens since I haven't used them very much. 

I also just purchased a set of watercolor pencils, so I wanted to try those out and see how they compared to normal watercolors. I certainly think I need more practice with them because I did feel like I struggled a bit. I really like the splatter design I was able to create for the background. I was able to get a more pigmented splatter by rubbing the pencil on the tip of a wet brush before flicking the brush towards the paper. 

I was excited to do my take on this outfit as well because it doesn't actually appear in the movie. It was introduced about three years ago for Martha at Universal Studios in Hollywood. I think it's such a pretty outfit and it was great for me to practice how to create different textiles with the pens.
