another video for my style exploration series

this time I will be exploring watercolor pencils

sup let's get started

I've never actually come across

a fashion illustration done in watercolor pencil

so finding an artistic inspiration was hard

I ended up looking through our works that or not fashion illustrations

but they were still done with watercolor pencils

or at least that's what it said on the description

and I used to not like the pencil marks that would

still be visible even when you didn't lay down the water to blend the pencil

together to create the watercolor effect

however when I saw some the artworks

when I went and searched up for watercolor pencil art

I actually really like the effect had and I wanted to use that technique

in my own fashion illustration and see if I would end up changing my mind

and liking it I also found in some fashion illustrations

done with watercolors and pencils not necessarily

watercolor pencils but it gave of the same effect

as the other artworks I've seen so far so I took that

as an inspiration the problem was that

I found the artwork and click the link but it didn't take me to a blog or a

website

which showed the name of the artist the illustrations

didn't even happen artist signature so I unfortunately do not know who created

those beautiful fashion illustrations I really like the style as well so it

would have been so great

I were able to find out who the artist wise you guys know who the artist is for

these illustrations

I would appreciate it if you would let me know other ways

that's alright I guess so

the idea had in mind for this particular illustration

was that for the skirt court I would try and use

that technique I saw on the Internet and you will see me do that later but for

now

this is the good old sketching part entrance bring the sketch

onto the watercolor paper using at the light box

with your YouTube main steps in Nigerian process

I mean if you guys have been watching my videos you always

see me do this the rough sketch and the lightbox

than the clean sketch it gets a little bit repetitive

but that's my process I don't really think

I change up my sketching process sins

I haven't thought other ways our method aside from this current one

besides this sketching process really works for me so I might

stick to it for a while

okay now we're in the coloring process

and I think it's quite self-explanatory hell to

use watercolor pencils I mean you lay down the pencil on the page

and you can if you want add water to the pencil marks using a brush

then you get the watercolor effect what I tend to do

is if the page is still down I collar with the pencil so that I get

really saturated lines which helped create the shading in the picture

in time to see me do that in the video itself

watercolor pencils I am using

are by the way a really crappy and cheap quality watercolor pencils

some you guys might know that summer-like art supplies

or cheat and not even artist quality materials

and like some other than are from the dollar store

sometimes with those cheat art materials it's a hit and miss

so far I've been pretty lucky to score decent quality art materials for a

bargain have a deal

but for this one it was just

miss the brand is or L

I dull recommended all

I've honestly never heard the brand the forward but

I got this set as pencils when I was 13 or 14 years old

and it's the only set watercolor pencils I have in my

art supply stash so this is what I'm using

for this video I feel like the quality did effect

the way the illustration came out in the end you can kinda see

that the colours or not vibrant and

I found it really hard to make the colors bright

however speaking on a positive note about how this illustration came out

I only really late how I colored the skin

and that's about it I don't like how to dress came out it looks

way to lacked the here is all great but I feel like I could have done better

with it

all with the skin I used

the pencil to outline and

and I love how it turned out originally I was going to use my black while a near

like how I did with my previous videos for this series

but when I play Stillwater and started creating the

watercolor effect on the skin the brown but I used

was somehow pushed aside instead being blended with the flesh color

technically that would it be

ideal for a watercolor pencil because you want the colors to blend together

instead

being pushed aside but because that happened

it created a subtle outline on the skin

and I thought that looked awesome so in the end

i emphasize the outline by going over

the jury in with the watercolor pencil but that time

I left it dry and didn't at the water that was kinda like my

happy accidents I did the same thing for the hair

and address but it didn't turn out the same way

hands so why am not too happy about it

I also added some pink colors to the knees and shoulders

kinda like a blast I might have overdone the shoulders at it

but I really like companies turned out which

sounds odd saying out loud but I might write out again for future artworks

actually seen a lot

manga artists and illustrators do that further drains which is why I wanted to

give it a try

it kind of gives some sort I'll innocent

look to a character ask for the skirt

I'm going to briefly talk about the technique I try

so from the artworks I saw on the Internet

it looks like they started by coloring with the pencils in streaks

then added water on top exact

so it kind of gave a soft wash

with the pencil streaks showing underneath

I tried that the first time but the pencils

ended up blending too much

with the water so what I did was that while the paper was wet

I redrew the pencil marks which

made the lines appear more vibrant

I think the technique would work well for hair

and when rendering tool

or maybe a really nice we did

texture so overall

I'm fine with this exploration its

not something I would like to continue to be honest

but maybe if I got better quality watercolor pencils

I would have a different and better experience

the only thing i'm taking away from this however is how I colored the skin which

I can't get enough I'll anyway

that is it for this video I hope you guys enjoyed
