RE: WIP Day 02 : Johanna Basford ~ Enchanted Forest River with Derwent Inktense
omg lol I was looking at the picture and thought to myself, that picture looks familiar. So I pulled out my work in progress which has been on hold for a very very long time.....
Mine is just a small version though; they are postcard sized calendar.... and even still I couldn't even finish it in one go. It is no where as good as yours. This is just coloured pencils though; I'm not very good with watercolour. I've only tried once and it didn't look anywhere as good as yours.
By the way, I love the idea of the colour chart you made. I also noticed the different type of water brush you use. That is a really good idea. I will look into getting some the next time I try water colour pencils out.
Hi @supersoju!
Ohh I love that calendar! I saw it in the shops, thought about it, wanted it and forgot to buy it 😭.
For me, they all take forever to finish no matter the size lol. The fact that Im blogging about it just means I need to see it through 😉 I figured maybe I can get this one finished (I have heaps of wips)
If you can, try to get your hands on some derwent inktense. Ive never used water colour pencils before, but I believe inktense is what makes the colours so vibrant. It seriously isnt me lol
And definitely get a water brush. The blue water brush is from the art shop and the small clear ones are from ebay, and work just as well as the art shop one.
Ps. Ebay is way cheaper
awww, you should of bought it. It is really cool. I said to myself I would colour one a day for each day since it was so small.... well we know what happened there.
hehehehe that's a good way to force yourself to finish one. Good motivation lol
I remember looking at inktense, I ended up picking pastel and watercolour ones. I will have to look at getting some inktense one next time. Though I do like using pastels and the different type of blenders.
Nice, thanks for the tip. I just bought a set of 6 different sizes kekeke 😉
