Brief medium tests

I had full intention to do two full example scenes of the aerial view on the house, starting with the  actual watercolour version of the scene, then also a digital equivalent.

Starting with the actual watercolours, I applied the basic flat colours, and then had to wait for them to dry before getting detail in there. I thought I should get the flat colours  of the digital version down while I waited.. and I just kept going. It became apparent very quickly what I would use for the comic. There are a lot of panels to create for this comic, and I simply don't have the time to wait for them to dry every so often.


Im also really quite satisfied with how the brushes capture a watercolour effect. I feel like my lack of experience with the medium shows through the image, as not really having an instinct as to the way the medium looks naturally , means I cant exactly replicate it. Im still more than happy to continue like this though, just something to take in to consideration in the future when making a illustration that hopes to look like watercolour.
