minespatch Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Was there a plant nearby that it made you want to draw them or was it the colors that inspired you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno. I was just lying in bed like "I wanna draw something. Maybe a flower" and hibiscus was the flower that came to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MenaAthena Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Actually the legit reason is I wanted to do a greenery background without drawing solid leaf shapes so I just scribbled colors it, and it ended up looking kinda like a watermelon.

minespatch Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 What's washi tape? I love the color scheme you used on this. The blue has a aquatic look to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geni0529 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Same question as Minespatch what’s washi tape? I really like the tattoos on her, or at least I’m assuming they’re tattos, it’s really cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cuts pretty easily and peels up without tearing the paper, so you can lay it down in an area and cut away excess without damaging the drawing underneath. The parts that aren't patterned are also kinda transparent so that's neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it as thin as normal washi, or is it thicker so it doesn't rip? And do you get it in rolls or sheets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some origami with patterned paper before many years ago but I don't know if it was Washi) so I couldn't tell you if it's thicker or not, but I imagine it is a little even if just because of the added adhesive. It comes in small, narrow rolls, which you can see here next to the tiny sketchbook I bought (and decorated) with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MenaAthena Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Drawing idea I had at 1:30 AM: And a pal of mine, Bringer of Doom, made lineart of our D&D group and I colored it. The characters were colored it with alcohol based markers and I did the background and some little effects digitally. I wasn't sure how I felt about markers before, but I think I'm starting to warm up to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
