Ice Age Sci-Fi (sh.itjust.works)

A sketch exploring a story idea for a prehistoric sci-fi that I don't think I'll be developing any further, at least anytime soon. Did a value pass to practice value structure though.

Trying to learn how to do these large flat color spaces in watercolours (well, watercolour-ink actually).

I got shown a "magic gum" that's supposed to remove watercolours, but i just left a big unremovable spot on the lower right side ... the more you learn!

It's all done using the "boring" orthogonal perspective (same size everywhere, lines are parallel, no vanishing point) because waiting is kind of boring I guess!

Martian Flower (watercolor) (lemmy.mindoki.com)

Fabriano 300gr hot pressed extra white A5, a nice little "block".

I use a Pentel P207 to sketch it out, then I inked with a fountain pen Lamy safari EF filled with Carbon Black ink (one of the true water resistant black inks that I know about that works in a fountain pen).

Coloring with Watercolor Pebeo Colorex inks, mostly mixing up Yellow, Cyan and Magenta with a Winsor & Newton Series 7 N°2 pencil.

Inspiration: Moebius "La faune de Mars"
