Do you use copic markers? The color is so brilliant!

HAHAHA, no!
I'm not laughing at you; I'm laughing at what I actually did! It's been so long since I went through my gallery that recalling my backwards technique amused me!
When I was fourteen or fifteen my father surprised me with a pack of 100 markers (because I had been so enthralled with a fellow artist's art set). Well, these weren't really artist markers (they're a step above Crayola) but I began playing around with them. Eventually I learned they were water soluble and I began to paint with them. As markers, they're pretty terrible. But as watercolors AND bits of marker, I've managed to really explore their potential!

I really like this one.. I mean, I've seen drawings made using the same style, but this looks really great. It looks... donno, galmorous and soft... and it is sweet.

AbstractDoctrine In reply to Anotheroutsider [2008-01-17 23:59:30 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I was worried it didn't feel quite as soft as I had wanted it to.

this is so amazing!!
The detail of all the candy is simply astounding.
I dig the fact that the guy is sleeping it gives it a calm feeling. I also dig the colors u used. They are warm which contrasts the calm feeling of him sleeping. I dig it. ^^
I usually have something negative to say, but i cannot find anything wrong with this pic! XD
Gr8 job

very nice i really like how you blended different colors for the backgroud, instead of one solid color. the colors of the shirt came out very nice too

AbstractDoctrine In reply to CodeOfVulgar04 [2007-09-05 22:47:06 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, bullshit but thanks anyway. These are nice to help me relax but I miss the precision of pencil too much to take watercolor all that seriously.

A few people have said it reminded them of older comics, I suppose that's good.

lickingstitches In reply to AbstractDoctrine [2007-09-04 23:29:24 +0000 UTC]

think back to old comics, such as the earlier hellblazer series and v for vendetta, something about that piece[possibly the arrangement of the ground] seems reminiscent of that era in the art scene

This is so gorgeous, I love how much the colours stand out against the crisp black lines... great details, too. The candy and berries add so much character to it.

Thank you for explaining why you like it. You have no idea how much it peeves me when people just say 'it's pretty'.
The patterns and colors are little experiments I do when I'm don't feel like stressing out over a pencil piece. Thanks.
