Watercolour Portrait: N.K. Jemisin
Schmincke watercolours with no pencil sketch.
Patrick Rothfuss Portrait
Neil Gaiman Portrait (Work in Progress)
I decided to work on a monochrome Neil Gaiman watercolour portrait, and I remembered to take progress photos for a change.
The initial sketch was done with a Faber Castell 9000 2H on Bockingford 300gsm watercolour paper.
Then I did some light initial shading (I use Schmincke watercolours):

Final pass, differentiating more between light and dark:
Jaffa in the Sunshine
It looks like another year without winter here. I drew this during an Urban Sketchers sketch crawl, but since the sun was right in my face and it was blazing hot (31 degrees centigrade), I didn’t place the shadows properly.

Place de la Sorbonne sketch
