[QUOTE="Storn, post: 5675206, member: 6698"] This was a bit of an experiment. I have a style/technique I use for interiors off and on, for grayscale printing. It is a combo of watercolor and liquid acrylic. I thought I should try and use it as an underpainting for a digital colored piece. I had this multi-figured private commission to undertake and thought this would be a good place to try that. I've done underpaintings before, but using oil. Oddly, doing an underpainting in oil, I am much more shape oriented... maybe cause I can push the paint around after applying it down. The "mistake" I made is that I used quite a bit of line in my underpainting, because it looks good for interiors... falling back into how I work for that context. But then I had to kinda fight those lines in the digital coloring steps. Some I left in. Still, I like the solidity of the figures against the more nebulous digital effects in the background. I like the texture of the watercolor here and there bleeding through. Gives some life to my digital stuff, IMO. Next time, I will just try and keep to more shape oriented painting and really pick those lines carefully, so when I go to the digital steps, I am not having to "redraw" those lines or wipe them out completely.
