Snake character

There are thousand videos on YouTube where you can learn acrylic painting. There are thousand videos on YouTube showing you how to paint with watercolours. But it looks like the neocolor 2 crayons from Caran d'Ache are merely looked upon as a medium for children or colorists. There are only a handful of usable videos for someone who - like me - wants to use these watersoluble crayons as a medium for painting.

So I have to experiment myself, learn which things work and which do not. In general I like experimenting - but having somebody to learn from can make things a lot easier and time-saving!

 

Little Snakes

Now and then I take a break from digital painting and do something different, like this painting / drawing. It may sound strange, but this was very relaxing to do. A few minutes before writing this blogpost I had to throw away a digital painting because I messed it up in a way which could not be mended. I had spent hours working on it, but I am still a newbie with Krita and probably did something which I should not have done. Instead of quitting Krita I decided to begin a new piece because I didn't want to give up. Of course there's nothing to be shown yet.

 

Little blue snake

This snake was coloured with markers and coloured pencils. I did the line drawing myself with some references from the web. Isn't he cute?
