@Kristen-Lango thank you so much!
The Garden Witch

@Asyas_illos thanks, yeah it's all a learning process.
-
-
@kylebeaudette these look great
-
-
More witchyness
-
@kylebeaudette I love this story so much! I don't even know the premise, but the way you've illustrated these pieces makes me want to own a copy of The Garden Witch
-
@Kristen-Lango thank you so much!
-
@kylebeaudette yes I can't wait to know the words behind the illustrations!
-
@kylebeaudette Really love this last set of illustrations, fun and lively and so full of characterisation. It encourages me to keep my simple line style and develop a more 3-d style as an alternative.
-
Tried some Caran D'ache water soluble crayons after seeing Peter de Séve's stuff on instagram. They're pretty cool.
-
@kylebeaudette ooh nice texture! Very creepy
-
-
@kylebeaudette let me guess last spread? Lol
-
@kylebeaudette These are awesome - I've been wondering about watersoluble crayons for some time now. Would you recommend them?
-
@kylebeaudette These are fantastic!
-
@Kristen-Lango I saw Peter de Seve doing a lot with them, and he said they were difficult at first but then amazing.
And that was my experience as well. One thing I'd suggest, keep them sharpened! -
@kylebeaudette Thanks Kyle! I'll check them out
-
So exciting!!! Congrats man, I hope it goes through!
-
Bunch of stuff from the last little while. Handing in my full first draft next week. Nerve wracking, but lots of fun! Almost turned it into a short illustrated novel at one point. Back to a picture book now. -
@kylebeaudette Ahhh!!! I can't love this thread enough. Your witch is SO endearing, I love her!! I love this style so much, I think nostalgia plays a big part in why it's so easy to connect with as well. Please feel free to post, post, post!
I feel watercolour definitely fits this style best in my opinion (you could also try markers?). Digital can quickly feel flat if you don't build up your textures and overuse the airbrush (that always makes my images look too digital).
I'm sure there must be a way to imitate watercolours successfully with digital, but it's not easy. Lucy Fleming recently did a blog post on digital watercolour which you might find interesting ^_^ She has a lot of great brushes for Procreate.
