August Illustration Highres scan - Madoka Magica (Patreon)

Wooo she's done!!! I am so happy with this one! I tried some new techniques and I'm really happy with how they turned out.

Tools used:

• Pilot colour Eno mechanical pencil (red, orange, purple led)
• Dr Ph Martin concentrated watercolours
• Acryla gouache
• White posca marker
• Blue & red sakura multiliner 0.05
• Fluid hotpress watercolour paper
• Epson perfection v600 scanner

To start, I did the lineart in pilot colour eno mechanical pencil (as you can see on my lineart scan I posted seperately, it's very multicoloured).
I did most of the base colours in watercolours, but anything with a hard/sharp sense of light (such as the yellow in her hair or on her hair bows) I overlayed with gouache. I feel like I am slowly figuring out how to use watercolours and gouache together more harmoniously so I'm really happy with how this managed to turn out!

I painted the background with watercolours and added the clouds on top with gouache using a stippled/wrecked old brush lol. It worked out better than I thought.

After that, I went back in in certain spots with a blue & red multiliner. If I hadn't, the character would've blended into the bg too much.

Lmk if you have any questions about the process!
