Sketchbook || Old studies
🕑 Added 2020-04-03 16:37:10 +0000 UTCHello guys!! How are you? First of all, welcome to the new Patrons!! Some of you joined last night and I'm super happy you're here. Thank you. So far I posted about my Patreon relaunch on my Tumblr and DeviantArt only and I'll probably do a post announcement on Instagram later today. I'm really excited and nervous at the same time, I really want to make things right and post nice content for all of you!
ANYWAYS, here's a first bunch of old studies from 2016-2018. Almost all of these sketchbook pages were never posted on my social media and only saw the daylight on some of the video tours I filmed for Youtube, I think.
Materials used:
✦ Moleskine Art Plus Sketchbook size A5 111lb paper (165 gr)
✦ Various multiliners, mostly Uni Pen and Micron 0.1/0.2/ 0,05
✦ Pentel pocket brush to add weight to some lines.
✦ Watercolors. Right now I use Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors but back then I used to have a Winsor & Newton 14 half pan palette, which was super nice too. I still use that if I'm traveling due to his cute handy size, but If I'm painting at home, Gansai Tambi are my top preference.
✦ Zig Kurecolor markers. These were the first alcohol markers I tried. They are great! I have them on gray tones.
✦ Copic Markers. I hope you like markers because I'm probably gonna talk a lot about alcohol markers haha. You can see that on one of the pages I was testing some new colors I got, doing swatches is really useful when painting. Some other day I'll show you the markers I own and which ones I use the most!
🌈 Also, I little bonus! See the page with the mermaid inside the bottle? that's the original drawing with no retouches whatsoever. And this is how the final version looks:
If you follow me on IG, you probably know I tend to do this a lot! I take the sketchbook drawings I liked the most and upgrade them digitally. It's a nice way of mixing both techniques. I'll go more in depth on how I do that in a future post!
For now, I hope you liked these! ✨
Love,
Gret
