Watercolor tutorial
1: preparations Water, brushes of multiple sizes, watercolors, tissue, cardboard for mixing some colors. I use the Russian brand 'White Nights' watercolors. White ink if you like, but you don't have to.
2: getting started For a coloration I take either a pencil drawing or an inked one (with waterproof ink!) The size of your illustration is up to your own feeling, I usually draw on small sheets like A4 or A5. The illustration I am coloring in this video is A5 size.
3: apply base Usually I start with the basic skin tone. First of all, I mix the colors and apply a thin layer of the basic skin tone on the paper. I use a lot of water, please take care that it won't get too dark yet. Then, wait a little until the foundation dries. Now I set the shadows. Take care of the light source! I mix the base tone with a little darker color and less water and apply it on the paper. Later, I emphasize the lips with a mix of skin color and pink.
4: hair Please wait until the paper dried before starting to paint the hair. For this illustration, I decided to draw dark hair. As for dark hair, I take brown/blackish tones and then I mix a complementary color (a blueish shade) seperately. Then I apply both colors via wet-technique, it means that I don't wait until the water dried but just go on painting.
After it half-dried, I apply some shadow colors to the hair to give more depth.
5: eyes & clothes As for the clothes I usually begin with the brightest part. Then I apply darker shadows fitting to the folds.
----- Thank you very much for watching my video. Please notice, that I just described the way I do watercolor illustration, you can do it in whatever way you are comfortable with! It is a very interesting media to paint with. Please enjoy!
Thank you so much for this! My watercolours are always messy and even though I like them. . . Well. This will help x'D
Even though I'm not able to post a link of myself doing a watercolour due to the lack of a video camera, it's really awesome that you want to see what your watchers are up to. It's sort of sweet.
Thank you, nheria! I got a drawing kit last Christmas and it came with a watercolor pallet but I had no idea how to color/draw correctly with them. This was very helpful!
