an experiment in making things look watercolor-ish in Photoshop. I'm not sure I'm actually interested in getting it to look exactly like watercolor (then wouldn't I just use watercolor?) so much as making things look a little more physical.
I was tired after the beach today and just doodling. I've been looking at a lot of stuff relating to The Secret of Kells in the past couple days - their production blog is really interesting. I guess that sort of wore off on me, not so much the stylized shapes (their use of stylized shapes is really masterful) as the flattened perspective and the even lines.
I've realized that these red ones show up really badly on mac monitors (or at least on my laptop monitor) - if you see them on a PC or non-apple monitor, that's what they're supposed to look like. Probably. The difference between the monitors hasn't been bugging me as much on the rest of these, just the red ones.
Just the one moomin color today because I spent the rest of my time doing paid work! :gasp!: And I'm mad because I finished said work for the day and want to watch Veronica Mars (I just got to season 2!), but my computer has decided it's not having any of this DVD business. I drew this on my second monitor, and I realized my drawing of me was literally staring at the cd drive of the laptop next to the monitor. Fin, ever the loyal dog, is also angry.
Same deal as the last post - these are the next four. I keep doing stuff with basically this color scheme. I need to branch out. But I'm still relatively happy with it.
