The motive for drawing this picture is、What kind of white should I use for the purple iris?、A test called。If we focus on “white”、Transparent watercolors, ink paintings, etc.、A technique for drawing based on the assumption that the original paper background color is white.。Don't call it an "assumption"、What is actually used as white is "non-transparent" watercolor (gouache) or tempera.、acrylic、Opaque techniques such as water-based paints such as Japanese paintings and oil paintings。
Based on transparent watercolor、If you only use white in some areas, you can expand your range of expression.、The content of the test is that it seems easy to draw.。Anyone can think of something like this、I know you're already doing it、I wanted to dig a little deeper.。
Before this study、I was experimenting with a few things using the "watercolor + tempera" method.。The rationality of the combination is high.、The effect can be expected, but it is difficult to put it into practice.。Watercolors dry much faster than oil paintings.、Intuitive production、A sense of speed is life、There is a point that。At first glance, tempera seems to dry as quickly as watercolor.、It is said that complete drying is slower than oil painting.。It is extremely difficult to overcome that gap with quick work.。I think it's suitable for the type of person who takes time to draw.。
That's why、Researching materials other than tempera。Here I simply used Chinese white (zinc white).。in the most common way、I'm sure it's the easiest way after all。This is fine for small parts。The surrounding white is a mixture of acrylic modeling paste light and titanium white.。The rough feel depends on the underlying paper.。
By the way, what is a "secret"?。Everyone can clearly see it, but I don't notice it.、that's a hint。I'm not talking about Ayame's "Aya".。
