Mark DennehyJust going to record it here before I ruin it with watercolours for the wash part of line&wash :D
...and yeah, not really what I was hoping for. The line is lost, the sense of the original scene isn't preserved well, and it's managed to both not be precise enough *and* not be loose enough to be likeable.
Oh well.
Oh well.
Okay. That's a little better. Still not *really* happy with it, but at least now I don't want to throw it in the fire along with the pens and paints.
JJ Celery@markdennehy ah it has so much more depth now, lovely 🤩
@jjcelery Thank you!
stroan@markdennehy Looks great!
@stroan Thank you!
Méabha@markdennehy turned out lovely
@Meabha Thank you!
Mary Hannon@sundaygirl Thank you!
PJ "Vote Green" Coffey@markdennehy still experimental learning is the best kind.
I don't suppose making an A3 copy and then say... black marker? Would be your aesthetic?
It looks pretty good either way, I just like to have things both ways myself. 😀
@Homebrewandhacking It's in a sketchbook so mistakes are allowed :D
Was thinking of going back over the lines with a wider fineliner (they were 0.05, maybe reinforce with a 0.3...)
@markdennehy @Homebrewandhacking consider using brown instead of black, sometimes it's less severe and blends better with the warm colours. Maybe even fineline with a guache and a 00 brush?
@jjcelery @Homebrewandhacking Have the guache - don't have the 00 brush, or the ability to paint that small :D What do I look like, a warhammer 40k painter? :D
@markdennehy @Homebrewandhacking ugh actually games workshop is the easiest place in Dublin to get brushes that small 😅 but it wasn't an accusation 😂
*looks sad and puts away their wee plastic men and brushes*
@Homebrewandhacking @markdennehy I don't judge 😂 I've done some one-off minis myself, just wasn't for me
@jjcelery @markdennehy they're for my players... honest.
IDK. I just like having little hordes of the things and since I'm a shameless hack the Citadel Contrast range has been a game changer. Instead of 5h to get it looking blotchy, it's 20 minutes to acceptable and then 4h 40 of polishing.
@Homebrewandhacking @markdennehy this is a lot of time.
A. Lot. Of. Time.
I thought I was patient but I'm not *that* patient!
@jjcelery @Homebrewandhacking Jaysus, I was more thinking "I'm not in that league", I've seen the stuff @majorthrill posts when he gets going. Single-hair brush stuff.
@markdennehy @Homebrewandhacking @majorthrill had a look and yeah, I'm deffo not in that league either 🙃
Jochen Lillich@markdennehy @Homebrewandhacking @jjcelery @majorthrill I’ll just leave this here. https://youtu.be/3YOdH2wqL9M
