What a great experiment! I think you are right - we often try to use mediums in ways they aren’t meant to do and we just need to go with the flow of whatever can be achieved. But you created a great page that cost next to nothing - the painterly effects are perfect ❤

Thank you 🥰

Wow, this is incredible! You are so inspiring with how experimental you are in your colouring. I’m a perfectionist and a fairly beginner colourist (been actively doing it for about a year and a half). I’m also a very slow colourist. So, watching you just going for it and trusting this process is so wonderful. I find your pages so interesting, gorgeous, and inspiring and I love your attitude towards your colouring. It’s so free! We also have VERY similar tastes in artists/what we like to colour (I’m also a huge fantasy portrait fan) so your channel makes me feel like a kid in a candy store. 😂 Thanks so much for taking so much time and effort to share not only your beautiful pages with us but also so much of your process! It’s incredibly helpful. Take care. 😍❤❤❤

This is a bit off topic.. but I recently discovered you can use alcohol marker to blend out water soluble media. Neocolor, watercolor pencil, inktese, etc. This is a massive game changer for me.. it works perfectly on all paper, even my "worst of the worst" US Amazon paper... no warping, no damage, and no bleed through. It behaves a bit differently, you have to put the color on the paper it won't pick it up off the tip, it doesn't move as much, but it blends nice and smooth. Makes it really easy to reserve your highlights and keep shadows where they belong, but you also can't get all those blooms and drips (which is kind of a bummer, but not a deal breaker on bad paper that I couldn't do that on anyway). It's so fast too, just pop down the color where you want it to go and blend. I did a Matchstick Mouse page in an hour yesterday and didn't even have to go over it with dry pencil.. it just looked awesome. Just FYI because I know you use a lot of books that aren't really water friendly.

Ooh - interesting. Would that be the colourless blender or the markers themselves?

[@waymire01]

@@saffire_colours the colourless blender. I've never tried blending watercolor pencils with a colored marker.. BUT I've seen it done with a Tombow so I think it's possible. The colorist laid down the darker color in pencil and then blended it out with a light shade of Tombow. 90% sure that was Shel's Colouring Journey, but it was an older video.
