More watercolour painting practice. Trying not to be so scared of something more realistic. I'm not happy with the way I rendered the face here - I think it's overworked, messy and muddy, and the proportions are off overall, but that's what sketchbooks are for. 🤷‍♂️

Making my way through this watercolour sketchbook

I picked up some new and replacement pastels yesterday and spent a bit of time on this mixing chart today. It came out higher in chroma than I anticipated, but I think there's also plenty of calmer colours, too. I'll have to see how I fare with this as my palette for the next couple of paintings.

Once or twice per year I get the urge to draw more realistically and that's what this sketch is

Translation is a form of creation. The translator has to make decisions about preserving style over direct content, about cultural equivalence, about how to preserve a sense of pun or sentence structure from one language to the next. People who assume an LLM can do it are not understanding the task.

I was so happy today to learn that when we die, we become minuscule dust specks: carbon, oxygen, iron, calcium and other stuff. The stuff that forms stars. www.mundomendo.com/mostinsign...

I've said it before and I'll say it again - going back to illustrating in mixed media feels really good. Want the immediacy, texture and happy accidents of traditional materials with the control of digital art? Then tradigital is the way to go! 🙌
