Getting the foundations down
Not a huge amount of progress tonight, nothing radical or experimental, just laying the foundations for the next couple of days.
Painting yellow details onto Stingray and Moray needed a few coats to get going. Working both Pro-acryl Golden Yellow and P3 Blazing Ink into the Transparent Yellow over several coats took a fair bit of time. I wanted to concentrate on getting these 2 worked up so I can then give Kamen a bit more attention at the weekend.
The other element I worked on was blacklining. This was achieved by mixing Liquitex Carbon Black ink with Instar Water+ in a 1:3 amount. It shows just how strong the ink is, but the water+ really helped it to flow into the recesses, and as it wasn’t a heavy mix I could easily use a clean brush to lift off or blend in any excess I didn’t want.
Tomorrow I can start to highlight.
