inspired a bit by the diving/swimming scenes in Cracks.

an illustration for 1st Tuesday by the wondrous Bianca Stewart watercolor & pen

I wanted something soft and almost all white, but somehow colors keep creeping up on me. Not that I mind.

I’m very happy with this one I think. 

this one took way longer than it looks to do. Also, the body is a bit better, but I think I need finer pens (don’t know if they actually make pens finer than the ones I have now though…). I’m not as good at faces when the format is so small (as the original is)

ugh, my bodies are always so awkward. have to work on that. Looks like a 12 year old drew it.

I like the mix of colors in this one. weird body though.

washing the reds.
(much happier with this one)

watercolors. inspired a bit by this. I have a hard time having the colors be vivid and strong. It seems everything comes out a bit pale and washed out. I have to work on that.
