Inking some color tests.... a mini reef!!

in art •  6 years ago 

This was one of the color tests I did for the book pages at the start of the project. My homie really wanted it inked up so he could hang it, even though I kept telling him that's not what they were for haha. Not meant to be inked, just meant to be used to test the colors before I committed to a full size page.......

But here we go I had to do one anyone just to get him to stop bugging me hahahaha... I mean he did write the book with me so I guess I could oblige :)

Acrylic and ink on watercolor paper.....

What a beautiful piece of drawing @gotmeens <3 I love the progress pictures very much, and i hope he will be happy with this !

Looking forward to the next one, for sure :)

Thanks a lot :) This was a fun processs

excellent!!! i love these sea creatures you are doing... it must pain you how much trouble sea creatures are in nowadays with the fukushima and plastic situation...

Thank you..... yea it's so heartbreaking to know that we have the power and the means to stop all the pollution/waste going into the ocean.... but it doesn't seem to be a top priority for those who pull the strings :\

I really like how the black ink makes all of the creatures pop of the page. The difference between the two turtles on the 4th image is remarkable.

I have really been enjoying your series of sea creature posts.

Thanks a lot.... Getting the turtles different was one of the biggest challenges of this whole book series, thanks for noticing :)

Those turtles are lovely!

Thank you :)

These turtles are adorable! :)
