Drawing is something that relaxes me, especially if it is something simply being that "something". That is, drawing just because and because I am entertained by it, without knowing where I am going, just like when you navigate uncertain or unknown waters.
You can't guess where you will arrive, you simply enjoy the trip, the sound of the water and the loving breeze...
This is how this illustration came about, lately I have had a lot of fun creating small environments, little things with touches of watercolor on the initial colors. Drawing the flowers and plants has been a delight, some of them are from my garden, while I was drawing I was in front of the window of my room and I could perfectly observe the plants.
I had made a similar version a couple of days ago for a drawing of Grass Racoon, one of the creatures from Holozing, but in traditional using alcohol markers. The next day she didn't have anything she wanted to draw per se, she just wanted to draw but without an exact idea. Therefore, I began to draw one thing and another, plants, mushrooms, and the small environment was born. Nature is something that I have always liked, and I love watercolors. I don't know if the finish is diffuse or what it could be, but I loved giving it those small touches of Fluffy Watercolor at low opacity in contrasting tones. I think it harmonizes very well with nature, it seems like an image taken from a story.

Let's quickly see the drawing process:
I started by making a horizontal line to limit it a little and then a central mushroom, the largest of all, and I also drew the left row of flowers. I continued with the one on the right, I thought about how beautiful the details are and I varied the thickness of the brush. I went on to make the base in more detail and then the grass. Regarding the sketch, unfortunately I do not have a photographic process, I really did not plan to publish it, because it was something that occurred in a moment of creative mood.
Color Station
I have given the base colors using the paint pot tool. I wanted some dull colors and some vibrant ones. The super light salmon tones were my favorites. I honestly wasn't planning on painting the drawing, I had only thought about storing it in the "unfinished" folder, but I felt like I couldn't leave it alone in my thoughts. Some of the elements were colored manually, I think that was the most entertaining.

Fluffy Watercolor Details
To finish the drawing, I didn't want to apply the shadows as I usually would. But rather I played with the Fluffy Watercolor brush for the plants, mushrooms, grass and soil. As for the sky, I used the Cloud brush in two opposite tones of the previously established base. That is, one lighter and one darker than the base. For the soft glow detail I used an airbrush with yellow, turning this layer into Luminosity and lowering the opacity.

Here the final result:
The touch of detail in watercolor made me take one step closer to one of my favorite drawing styles, however I am still married to strong outlines. The truth is that the difference that the "details" step provides is what brings more personality to the drawing.
