This is a redraw of Madabapf's DTIYS from earlier this year! I didn't participate at the time since I don't really have my own style yet π but I've been getting into watercolours recently and I really love @madabapf's comics so here we are!
If you've somehow not come across them yet they are well worth checking out! Great takes and headcanons, really funny and angsty comics and they just seem pretty cool all around! Highly recommend you check out their stuff!
Progress pics and some general ramblings about the process under the cut!
So the original plan was to have a go using masking fluid so I could do the background properly but the stuff I got just ended up ripping the paper. I don't know if it was the masking fluid, the paper or just a skill issue but I decided I didn't want to put this off until I got a different brand so I just went for it without using the masking fluid!
This is only my second attempt trying a background (This was the first!) and it was maybe a bit overly ambitious of me but I'm glad I gave it ago!
I am really pleased with how Mac and Wukong turned out! I'm still trying to get the hang of mixing paints to get the right colour but I think I did a pretty good job! I'm especially pleased I managed to get their skin tones pretty close!
There was a lot of trusting the process involved with the layering and trying to preserve the highlights but I think I was really getting the hang of it by the time I got to Wukong's gold little butt cape thing!
Overall, I'm very happy and proud of the attempt!
I also wanted to share a tip that I've found helpful since I've started trying to learn how to draw/paint! I used to get sort of like this perfection paralysis where I wouldn't want to move onto the next step in case I messed it up so I just started taking pictures of the process so even if something doesn't quite go to plan I still have a version of it I was happy with! And to be honest, I rarely regret moving onto the next step - even if it doesn't turn out quite how I liked I can usually find at least one thing I like about it.
My current motto for art is - Practice makes progress! As long as I'm doing some sort of art I'm on my way to improving!
I don't know why I chose such a hard panel- Especially since I suck at backgrounds π I was going to render it but I haven't exactly found a rendering style so I decided not to. And I couldn't figure out how to do Wukong's hands so I also decided not to do that- but I had fun doing the rest! Original under the cut!
