I like this. The more I think about using color (mind you, not actually using color–just thinking about it), the more impressed I am by what you are able to achieve. I’m working up the courage to give it a go. I still don’t get: how do you know which color to put down first? Light? Dark? I am easily baffled. Anyway: nice drawing.
Thanks a lot! Well i heard somewhere that you start light and then go darker.. So that’s what i have been doing.. To begin with i mixed the colors in a plastic tray before applying them, but now i start with some light red and then i add a little this and that gradually to get something that looks realistic.. With watercolor it’s part of the game o play with the water on your paper.. it can get too dry or too wet.. I saw you did a table in colorpencils – that was not bad! I’ve never tried colorpencils!,
I like the background color! Makes it interesting. And goes very good with the rest.

I like the use of green as a contrast to the flesh tones.

Start light and go dark makes intuitive sense to me. I’ll try that. That table was an act of desperation.
