Newest Front Cover Watercolor Painting for Ahi
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
This is a little number I painted last night. I did the entire thing in one sit down. I started around 9 PM and ended about 1:30 AM. Based on this, I think it took about 4 hours to complete. With watercolor painting, I already have a technique already down. I first draw the lineart and then I add the watercolors onto it. The photo shows all the main tools I used to paint this watercolor painting. I did not use too many different colors. The main colors used are those that appear warm. As for the dress of my chap, they are triadic colors. I was using a bit of a color wheel to arrange the colors. I normally do not use it. Still, it is useful from time to time. This makes the drawing have an entire, complete look and feel to it.
The protagonist is called Ahi. I am going to get around to publishing the book about him soon. I felt that it was a good a time as any to publish my fantasy book series. It is not complete. I still need three more books. I also need to proof a couple of more tomes as well. As far as good to go, I only have 4. When my brother saw the drawing, he said that Ahi looked a bit freaky. This was what I going for. This is the only two part book of the entire series.
The book ended up being like 400 pages long. Since it was so long, I thought it would work better as two books. I just had such an easy time coming up with things for my little Ahi to do. The orbs in this painting are also the narrator. They are making a chronicle of Ahi’s adventures because he is such an interesting fellow. One of the human characters sometimes describe him as a professional madman. Why is he wearing a dress? Well, because Ahi felt like wearing one.
When people open the closet, they see men clothing and female clothing. Ahi just sees clothing. If it fits, he wears it. He also has a thing for bling, bling. I pointed to this by the little crystal on in his hand. I could tell you more, but that would be spoiling the book. It is going to get like totally published real soon. As for the first book, it is already on Amazon. It is called Saturnastra Marduke. You can find it easier by just searching for my name Teresita Blanco. You can see everything that I have published as of now.
Tomorrow, I think I will try to publish my Nalini book. I will then go on with the rest of my books. I hope you find my fantasy series entertaining. Now back to my painting. The painting was done with a watercolor set I got from US Art Supply. The lineart was done with my Sakura Pigma micron pens. They do not run when I added watercolors on top of the ink. Lastly, I painted the skin color with a promarker from Winsor and Newton. This is just about it, see you tomorrow with another fancy watercolor painting.
