It's spooky Giratina time!
For whatever reason it looks much more striking in person, but the photos still look cool.
Making good use of all my little artistic discoveries about ink, bleach, highlighters, watercolours and how they interact

Spooky forest Pokémon!
I love the watercolour trees and forest part on the left and it's good to know I can use highlighter on bleached parts.

Haven't had time to finish anything recently so here's some pyrography I did a few years ago!
Loved doing this, drawing with fire is so cool, but equally difficult to find the space to actually do it at home.
On account of the "writing with fire" part 😅

I found blue ink! This was a really quick experiment to see how blue ink and bleach interacted (featuring Megas!)
And fyi, when your art paper runs out, don't skimp on the GSM of the replacement. Especially if you paint with bleach! 😅

Lugia, ink, bleach and watercolour.
This is mostly just ink. The bleach and watercolour are just extra texture - I've included images from before as well to compare

Ho-oh, watercolour, ink, bleach.
I've been busy moving house so haven't had much time or space to do painting recently.
I've found that watercolour pencil isn't good at large areas like a sky. Still turned out okay though.

Just a happy little pyromaniac 🥰
I did this the opposite way around to normal, inking and shading before colouring and bleaching the combination. Not sure it'd always work but did here.

The paintress...?
I was trying a more subtle, wavery effect. The legs turned out well, but the top half was quite ink heavy. It's given me some other ideas though.

An experiment to see if I can paint ink on top of ink that's already been bleached.
Answer is yes, but it runs and I can't do lighter layers as easily.
It looks cool though. I like the moon effect.

I didn't plan a pithy quote, I just messed the music notes 😅. The idea came from Sirene in Expedition 33, I just felt like drawing a dancing Pikachu 😂

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Ink, bleach, watercolour and pencil
Busy couple of weeks, so naturally I chose a complex image that meant I spent ages on just one painting 😅. Loving Expedition 33 so much and the ink/bleach fits it's look so well.

I've been busy at a wedding this week, so here's a throwback to 2017, where I got second place in the art competition at the Pokémon European Championships (they still have drawing, but sadly no longer allowed to be a competition).

I started drawing and wasn't in the mood for my usual pieces - this was fueled by listening to Visions of Atlantis
Ink and bleach. Not sure about the composition (the ship is too high up?), but I like how the ocean turned out.

I was trying to mirror the Espeon I previously did - not literally (maybe I should?) but with elements like the light across the piece and the contrasting light/dark tones.

Espeon is my favourite Eeveelution ☺️
The light beam in the background is a spread of ink that's been bleached out, but I think pure watercolour may have been better?
Something to note for next time.
