I posted this picture on my Posterous blog that I only recently resurrected. I’ve been posting the inkwork on there prior to the colour pieces showing up over here.
When I posted this picture late last night I hadn’t coloured it yet and was thinking of trying out some water colours on there mixed with markers. The end result was awful.
It was a bad mix of cheap water colours, wrong paper and new water pen, with a dash of not knowing what I want to do with it.
But I’m OK with it because if I didn’t experiment then I wouldn’t know what works and what doesn’t and in this case I now know not to try that again (like that anyway).
I may still ‘experiment’ with this image using digital colour, it’s one of those really unfamiliar zones that I know I eventually have to look at but I’m really resistant even though I’ve got most of the equipment.
I will however be drawing more of Mr Blue Beetle, he’s a lot of fun to draw.
