8. Painting (3): Foreground Characters
[1] White Rabbit
Now I’ll paint the White Rabbit. I imagine the White Rabbit being behind Alice, so I add more shadows. I also blur the line art.
[2] Alice
I blur and overlap the line art layers.
I’ll start with painting the face. Because it a girl’s face, I try not to add heavy shadows.
I use both the "Textured Watercolor Brush and "Rough Watercolor Brush".
I use the slightly rough, textured "Rough Watercolor Brush” for the clothes.
I add shadows on the clothes.
Alice is the main character of this illustration, so I copy the line art layer to make the lines darker so she stands out more.
For now I’ve finished painting Alice. Parts are still a bit faint, but I will paint extra details later on.
[3] Humpty Dumpty
I imagine him like a fashionable gentleman, and paint him in a striped suit smoking a pipe. I blur and overlap the line art layers.
He is the foremost character, so I paint him with a lot of contrast.
First I paint the base colors.
I then add another line art layer to make the lines clearer.
I paint the pattern on the jacket and the mushroom.
Finally, I add another layer and make the colors a bit darker.
I make a new layer under this folder and paint the light in the background.
Now I’ve finished painting all the characters for now.
