Still trying to improve my watercolor skill...it's hard! Also I know they don't have white eyelashes but it's my art and I can do what I want 😚
To be honest, it's hard to pinpoint what exactly it is about them that I find so fascinating. They're definitely not a good person lol. However, they're shrouded in so much mystery and undeniably badass, it's too hard not to love them! I hope they pulverize Hakari
Heads up! Now Bookface has finished, new handmade earth pigments paints and sets are up in my store! I'm super proud of them, especially the green earths set 💚🪨🖌️
found an old watercolor painting :o i have to clean it up and reset it in the frame. If i can get a good scan i can make some prints if anyone wants one
I needed a break from acrylics. My hyper fixation on them was wearing off and the act of setting everything up to paint felt painful, so I decided to shift to watercolors and used Uraume to practice (who else?! lol). It's not spectacular by any means and I definitely need a lot of practice but I still really like it. I also threw in some gel pen to make their eyes a little more sparkly.
I'm getting better, so I'm also getting back on my bullshit ���� Making the whole screen cobalt green 💚
This pigment is from Jackson's Art, because they're the only supplier who gave me a decent reply to my questions about cobalt-containing pigments & avoiding products of modern slavery/child labour. And I know it's an almost impossible question tbh; only a very small proportion of the world's cobalt goes into pigments (way more is used in tech prod.) These pigments are also highly processed and thus divorced from ore coming out of the ground. But we should still ask our suppliers if they at least comply with REACH and EU legislation aimed at remediation of forced labour & human rights violations.
Anyway smol note of appreciation for Jackson's UK staff who have to deal with my regular vexing questions about pigment regional origins and ethics. They always answer, even if it takes a while for them to track down where something came from (and even when I lose track of where TF things are... 😬) and I value that.
