22 - Sunday

DAY 22
My buddy Doug came over today and agreed to sit for a quick portrait drawing... but somehow along the way it became a painting.

When he asked "What are you using?" I replied "I think it's either gouache or watercolor or a mix." I painted this by re-wetting dried puddles of paint on a palette I dug out of a box. The colors used were ultramarine, yellow ochre, and a bright red that I think might have been cadmium. Oh, and some white gouache.

FLATTING
Also: for some reason I've been getting a lot of emails about how to do flatting. I've mentioned before in past posts that flatting is a coloring technique for comic books and there are already tons of great demos online about how to do it. If you google "comic book flatting," the tutorial that I learned it from is actually the first thing that comes up, here.

Have a great day!
