The Twelve Months
Book Cover #2
The Twelve Months is a Russian Fairytale that was translated into a film by Toei Animation in 1980. I loved the story as a kid and I couldn't wait to do my own take on it.
This is the small thumbnail I did of the cover before I started. I knew I was going to do it in watercolors, and I prefer to have everything worked out before I start. Watercolors are not very forgiving and require a lot of patience. This is really is the most important tool you will ever use when you watercolor: PATIENCE.
For the most part I work layers from light to dark, although sometimes I work in the darkest darks just so I can see what my range is going to be, and so I can preserve the focus where I want it.
This is the final watercolor.
This is the final cover with text, snow, and a couple of small tweaks.

Pretty Angora
For some time now I've been following The Meek. A beautifully told web comic created by Der-shing Helmer or alexds1 (on deviantart). http://www.meekcomic.comShe's created a cast of amazing characters and I wanted to to draw Angora. The process to make this piece was pretty simple; beginning with a pencil drawing and rendered with watercolors.
Enjoy!
