feels like i haven’t drawn in like, oh 120 days or so. but i stumbled into a local plein air festival and got struck with a mighty need so here’s to a couple hours of oh HOW do watercolors work again, oh noo i forgot this pigment reactivates when wet, blend damn you, what is color theory and why does it hate me, ahh fuck whoops fuck fuck, oh hey a vulture c:
#lots of expletive-mantled mistakes on this one for sure#the jawline in particular did me grievous harm#how dare u worsen when i try to fix u#then highlight the coverup attempt#rude!!!#i take it back: capillary action is a MENACE and *having a circulatory system or whatever* isn’t worth it#anyway. glad to have complaining-as-enrichment back in my enclosure#instead of complaining as. symptom of systemic aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa#this was fun we should do this again sometime ^-^#field notes#draw#more notes than usual#edit: since this is being seen by a couple people i feel honor bound to mention#this isn’t exclusively watercolor#i also used calligraphy ink - my beloved waterman black#didn’t bust out the bleach for this one though#you *could* get a similar effect for the bg/feathers with watercolor but it would be More Work
