Swiftys Sketchbook - My Traditional Workings - bmswift - 05-05-2016 Hello Crimson Daggers and welcome to my Sketchbook! While I've had most of my experience in traditional and a little bit in digital lately I've found I really love working with watercolors. These works, posted chronologically, are my first attempts at the medium. And these two are my current WIPs: RE: Swiftys Sketchbook - Triggerpigking - 05-05-2016 Nice start dude and for a first attempt at watercolours that's really good. I'm assuming your main interest is in drawing creatures? RE: Swiftys Sketchbook - bmswift - 07-26-2016 Thanks Triggerpigking, I think my main interest is nature and traditional mediums. I find it much more relaxing than working digital. Watercolour - with a referenced design And my first hand attempt at Acrylic painting: RE: Swiftys Sketchbook - My Traditional Workings - Eyliana - 07-26-2016 Welcome! I'm always happy to see another watercolour artist. I share your love for traditional medium and nature as well. Looking forward to see more :) RE: Swiftys Sketchbook - My Traditional Workings - bmswift - 08-07-2016 Thanks Eyliana! When I get a moment I'll have to pop in and take a look at your sketchbook :) Some more paintings: RE: Swiftys Sketchbook - My Traditional Workings - bmswift - 08-18-2016 Almost finished my small watercolour sketchpad. I have a Moleskine watercolour journal on order from the UK along with some W&N Watercolour paints, so I'm really looking forward to getting those! Hopefully next week! I picked up a cheap A5 sketchpad just for pencil & ink sketches as not to waste my watercolour paper, so I've started filling those out. I think my goal will be to try and finish both by end of the year. I need to remember not to over-work my watercolours. The first one I killed by treating it more like an acrylic. We learn from our mistakes though! RE: Swiftys Sketchbook - My Traditional Workings - bmswift - 09-25-2016 My September Crimson Crucible Challenge: I ran out of time at the end but I had a lot of fun with this and learnt a lot. I went and got a bunch of bigger paints and a new canvas ready for whatever I end up painting next :) And I finally got around to finishing this:
