These days were undoubtedly crazy, and to escape from it I like to draw, sometimes traditionally and sometimes digitally. I recently went to the neighboring city and was able to get watercolor colors, they are really pretty. To test my new material, I decided to make a traditional drawing of Fire Wolf in the Radiant version.
The truth is, it is the first time I have used this type and brand of colors. They work similarly to traditional colors, only to enhance the color and "watercolor" finish we need to incorporate water into the process. I regret not having a thicker paper that would allow me to better incorporate and mix color, but in the neighboring city I couldn't find one with a better weight 😒.
Despite everything else, this reminded me of when I was a child. It happens that before coloring I wet the tip of the colors with my saliva so that the color that remained on the paper would be prettier - she was a girl, haha don't judge me for drooling over the colors. While I was coloring, I told my husband: I had the idea of watercolor colors, I just lacked the rest!🤣.
Let's quickly look at the process:
For this drawing I used the drawing block, graphite pencil, eraser, watercolor colors, a brush and a small glass of water.
I started drawing Fire Wolf:

Then I started the coloring process. The truth is I didn't have much idea of what the correct technique was, I'm still learning. But I started first by giving a soft layer and alternating with the integration of colors. Example: for the blue area of flames I used two shades of blue, which I alternated and the water as well. But in this process I realized that not all colors behave the same, some did not react to the integration of water and therefore did not result in the typical watercolor effect. Includes in this, black and a blue. There are more colors, but among the ones I used for this drawing, I could mention that couple. Let's look at the coloring process, my favorite is the flame effect part:
