Keeping with my recent colorful drawings, It was time to whimsey-fy a guy.
I just purchased some HOT PRESS watercolor paper (very smooth) because I’ve been unhappy with my sketching when using COLD PRESS paper. Cold Press paper is not smooth, it’s toothy, and the unevenness of the paper becomes very apparent when I sketch on it.
Since I was drawing a dude, I had to bring in some color to make this worth my while. What is more colorful than an Indian Headdress? Ahh, and the possibilities to add colorful variety are endless!!
After the beading portion of the headdress, I did my form of the feather look, starting with blue.
Then yellow…..not much creativity going on here other than lots of stripes.
Pretty colorful now! …..the plan
Here are the two Indians that I mixed together.
Found on Pinterest.
Finished and Fun
I seem to be getting a little less reserved as I progress with these color-sketch-marker combo drawings! Haha
