This isn’t finished yet. I guess it needs a background, plus I need to scan it better!

we-all-start-a-fire: do you watercolour first or ink first? x

Sometimes I ink first, and sometimes I watercolor first. It just depends! You can find links to videos of me drawing and painting in my about page.

A work in progress. Lots of green.

The Smiling Spider (1891) by Odilon Redon is the most delightful lithograph I’ve come across in a while. What do you think?

➜ Fund Bill Plympton's CHEATIN' on Kickstarter!

I did! I was lucky enough to see Plympton give a talk at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco last year. He showed uncolored pencil animation from Cheatin’. It was beautifully done, and I for one want to see it completed. Click above if you do, too!

(Sorry for the double post! This looks better as a photoset, I think.)

A while back some of you asked about the difference between cold and hot pressed watercolor paper, so I doodled on a sheet of each. 

The main difference between the two is that cold pressed paper is textured whereas hot pressed is satiny smooth, as you can see from the images above. 

I’ve also noticed that paint dries more quickly on hot pressed paper, which you can see in blobs 6 and 7, especially.

I’m still getting used to the hot pressed stuff and try to save it for pieces that will have a lot of line work in them, which comes out more smoothly (like this piece or this one). I’m definitely more accustomed to working with the texture of cold pressed paper!

Do you have a preference?
