About the video: What are we going to do in the course
Overview
“In this course we will learn to color with watercolor a comic page or an illustration of its own or another cartoonist. Personally, I think watercolor is a wonderful technique because not only does it allow me to have great control over the final result, at the same time it is like working with an organic being that you never fully control. You have to let the watercolor do its part of the job. Transparencies allow you to add layers until you achieve the desired result. The manual direct color technique also allows you to create an original work with a personal finish that will help you have your own style of coloring. In addition, it can be combined with other types of techniques that will enrich the work. ”
