WATERCOLOR EXPLORATIONS

My new explorations in watercolor illustrations have yielded new results! These are two new illustrations which are part of a commission. The new technique still needs a few additions I feel. There's no end to learning.. and I personally feel we should never stop searching for new techniques, new medium and all the endless possibilities there are to explore.

WATERCOLOR ILLUSTRATION

I tried this complete watercolor illustration after trying my hand on landscapes (where I failed!). I totally love the texture of a watercolor wash, which is kinda raw and unmade. Landscapes may not be my cup of tea, but illustrations are something I can relate to..

Gonna try a few more looks with different watercolor wash textures..

 Totally in <3 with them!

PORTRAIT SERIES #4

This illustration took some time due to its several colors and as you can see now I'm obsessed with flowers!  This portrait has been on my mind for quite some time, and now I finally got the time to put it on paper. This series will finish in few weeks and one day I hope to put the series on sale..

PORTRAIT SERIES #3

This one was quick and took even less than an hour to sketch. I think it has too much makeup.. ;)

PORTRAIT SERIES #2

Here's another one from the series.. I'm experimenting with different looks from my favorite source of inspiration-  Fashion magazines! So this blonde took almost two hours to finish but I enjoyed making this one.

PORTRAIT SERIES #1

I have been busy these days due to my painting exam so i have not been regular here. But my exam preparations are going really well and today i will share one of the pieces that I have prepared for a series of portraits.
I am not very skilled in pencil shading, but I'm learning each day. And i hope my constant practice would make me a better artist someday.
