Just 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.

@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 😂

@jjcelery @markdennehy

*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!
