I offer you: the underpainting

2 13

I think the star/space prompt was a few days back, so I'm posting my celestial dragon for day 7!

I discovered underpainting with watercolors here and it really made the layers pop! It's even more noticable in the original and to-scale prints: https://t.co/OBI1e3pm7d

Let's talk about underpainting
Word of the day: Grisaille

I do it to know where my lights and shadows go
and to make the painting show subtle temperature changes

I was inspired by old anime monochromatic scenes.. and a lot of Detective Conan monochromatic artworks
