Hello again after a looong, long time
As part of my break from the tasks necessary to finish my university studies, I have decided to make an entry for the 51st edition of Art Explosion, a contest in which it is always a pleasure to participate, although I can not do it as often as I would like.
(If you want to take a look at the other participants, look here.)
I tried to pick up the concept by going to some symbols associated with paranormal activity, such as the goat (from a very dark imaginary) and the snake (magic and cyclical time). There are also aspects of my drawing that I can not explain, because they are part of those mysterious things in art.
Next, I explain the process a bit.
Before remembering that I should take pictures of the process I started drawing so I do not have a picture of the raw sketch. The first thing was, of course, to decide the composition of the image and then look for references (I had to see many pictures of cute boys, what a nightmare!). Once the drawing was ready I started to work with watercolor, not only because I like it, but because when you are not sure of the colors you are going to use (like me in this case) you can cover the watercolor with colors and / or acrylic paint (unless, of course, that you are using the technique in a pure way).
Then I used colors to define and add some details of the illustration and acrylic paint to change a couple of colors that I regretted having put in.
To finish, with a fine marker I added the whole weft and broke some contours.
Good luck for all of you!
