Any artists out there?

95% done here. All the major pieces are in place, the remainder is the detail work to really make it pop. I'm super happy with how it is coming out.View attachment 2742113

How did you do the Shiney bubbly effect over the hexagons? It looks really cool

Enjoy! Any suggestions are highly appreciated! I'm currently in a fury drawing phase, so ask me if you want to!

I like your style. I do find your lines difficult to see, or kind of blurry, but I think it seems intentional. Not really sure.

Short answer, bubble wrap and layering.

Longer, more detailed answer:

The hexagons are actually the top layer. To get this effect, there's a blended base coat of red and fluorescent lemon yellow put down with intentional streaking of both colors into each other for a nice red/orange/yellow mix.

Then you get some bubble wrap and press it down into your wet paint just enough to get the round impressions but not smear everything. basically that give you spots in your base where the color underneath pops through in a circular grid. If you take the now paint-covered bubble wrap and apply it over another color, you get neat multicolored textures.

Once all that dries, you paint on the hex stencil. I like to vary my thickness when I paint it on so you get some variation between a fully filled in hexagon and just a light wash over your underlying color (again the goal is to give you some color and depth variance and allow your background to pop through).

Thank you, how so?

So creative!

But it's gorgeous, and accidentally having something turn out great is part of figuring out what you like.

Yes! I love the watercolor brush!

Thank you, how so?

I bet if you trace your pencil drawing on another layer, delete the photo layer, and color on layers lower than the line art it will look clearer. If that is the look you’re going for.

My first successful animation! Yes, that is a hen. They do that sometimes.

Well... I just scan and color them, that's it really! I just use a dip pen and airbrush settings!

That's actually really good! Good work!
