Sea Dragon Illustration
In this illustration I used  my usual technique of playing with black and white notans. I then worked with 5 values to develope value studies as a a guide for how light and dark to work with the paint. I painted the finished illustration with watercolor and sumi-brush pen along with some white ink marks to give the illusion of splashes of water! What is the story? Well, the kids went fishing and caught a rather large scaled friend. I love watercolor for the looseness of the paint! The clouds were exploding with moisture and about to rain!
