I complain that I don’t have enough time to paint but manage to find enough time to do this

Hilarious @demotlj! There’s always time for fun!

Hey everyone, after spending a grueling 33.5 hours on this (according to the Procreate time counter) of which about 10 hours were spent on a false start (see WIP picture below) I'll rather call this done and move on.

Some background: These kids are Elias and Daniel, part of my original cast of characters I've been doodling on and off over the last 25 years. I have done some limited run comics with them but nothing too special yet, and here I wanted to go further into developing the universe they should live in. In this case here we see Daniel's room — as messy as any normal 9-year old kid's room should be. In fact it should be messier, but drawing and painting all that mess takes a lot of time. Just for comparison I'm attaching the initial coloring draft which after some good advice was changed to its final form.

Also: Is it normal to spend 20+ hours in a piece like this? I always wish I could work faster so I could have more things to show and post on social media. But speed isn't one of my virtues...

I do an underpainting first, usually with Burnt Sienna. Then I build layers of color on top and use White Gouache for the highlights. Here's a snapshot of the underpainting for one of the images.

@Tiffany-Thomas wow what a cool way to work! I'm not a watercolorist, but it think I will try out that method! it think it will work well with the way my brain works.

@Braden-Hallett Boy needs to hold on to more than that lols.

Drawing from life, and thinking about children's illustration at the same time.

Messenger mice bring a letter to a rat guard tower. Fanart for Larry MacDougall's'Gwelf', but with a little of my own style in there.

This would involve slowing down. Or stopping. Ain't gonna happen!

Sketching for fun, and to learn in procreate. Characters are from a frame in a black and white Star Wars comic

[Tristan Lapetz]

@keithryanstudio Very cool!
