My Coloring Army

My coloring army

Today I’d like to share with you what are the coloring materials I use for my work as an illustrator and graphic novelist (excluding the ink tools and graytones, which will be another post). I thought about posting this since I saw a thread in a Watercolorists group to display what materials they use in painting.

 

L to R:

Zig Pearlescent Watercolors– for some reason this watercolor palette is included here but no, I don’t use them for my work. I used them once for the painting below. They’re a fancy set given to me, and they’re probably not artist grade. and while I don;t really need them (the shimmers aren’t transferred to the scans and prints, anyway), I enjoy having received them. I am actually thinking of real projects I can come up with using them. Check out my first painting using them (and Gansai Tambi) (Price: P400 at The Craft Central)

2. Holbein Jaune Brillant # 2 Tube– This tube is a must have for those who paint and draw humans, a lot. WHile I can basically blend red and yellow hues to come up with skin color, I’d like to take that shortcut by having the Jaune Brillant 2 tone as the base color. works well
