[#]GhostOfKyoto, watercolors on paper

The illustration was drawn on a watercolor paper (Arche maybe…) using a 8B graphite pencil (Faber-Castell) and a light pad. This the way we “ink”. It gives a sketchy look to our images and we like that.

Inking the illustration with a 8B graphite pencil. It allows both sharp lines and large ones, subtle greys and dark blacks. What a high tech tool!

Last step: watercolors! 🎨
Since our illustrations have very detailed lines and shadows, we can use simple colors. We also try not to be too subtle because colors may disappear when printed if they are too light.

@ateliersento merci de partager les secrets de réalisation ! Petite question, le graphite ne bave-t-il pas lorsque vous passer à l'aquarelle ?

@gportier Non, mais c’est peut-être parce on met une forte densité de pigment dans nos couleurs. Ça dépend aussi du papier. On a testé certains qui étaient un poil moins bons. Mais les différences sont minimes et en général ça se passe bien.
