After messing around with coloured pencils, the other material that I wanted to try adding to my work was water colour. I really like the texture and how easy it is to blend the colours together. You can also achieve really nice vibrant colours. Instead of only adding colour to a section of my drawing, I tried using colour all over. I think this is quite effective in this illustration.
I have also had feedback from friends that the colours work really well.
These are two more experements. The top one uses colour in certain sections like I did with the coloured pencil. I quite like this as it give a nice texture to the rabbits fur, although I think that coloured pencils might be a better material to use for that type of thing.
The second illustration went wrong. I got carried away with the pencil and so when the colour was applied it could not be seen very well as it was going into pencil rather than a lighter background.
I have decided that water colour is not the rout I wish to go down with my work. I enjoy using water colours, however I prefer the control I have when using coloured pencils.
