This is what happens when you sprinkle salt on watercolor (while wet). The "milky way" isn't salt, just white paint sprayed on by toothbrush. I did just this one, and never contune exploring what this can be used for since it's a very distinct, salt-on-watercolor look:




The embryonic look was exactly why I wanted to paint those tomatoes :) They grew out of a garbage pile in the yard where we dump all food wastes.

I was tempted the mushrooms, but I like living. :P The violas do look a lot like violas, which is called pansy in the US, but they're not violas. They're some kind of orchid from the NYBG's Orchid Exhibition. I rather regret that one because the request was orchid, and nobody recognize them as orchid. If this is a real job I'd probably get an unhappy client.

Digital is a requirement for every branch of illustration now, just like how 3D is slowly obtaining that same status, especially in the entertainment fronts. I want to do more digital because I want to get better at it - it's cleaner, not toxic, and somewhat more environmental-friendly (depending on how you calculate things). I used to bemoan all the dead trees and polluted rivers because of the amount of paper and brush cleaner I had to use. However I'll always love traditional more, and becoming a Master like Rambrandt is The Dream, lol!
