Content Notes: Created for Challenge #45 - Negative Space. I used this animated gif (scene from KinnPorsche, Ep. 8) as a reference, sketched the figure outlines using a grid, and then painted the background with watercolour.

Lovely, I like how you've done the water effect as well.

[goss]

Thanks! I'm so glad you like the water effect. :) I experimented with painting tendrils of plain water on the paper, and then flooding it with patches of blue watercolour.

Oh this is lovely, great use of shade!

[goss]

Thanks so much! ^__^

[minoanmiss]

Oh that's beautiful!

[goss]

Thanks! :D

[tarlanx]

That's excellent!

[goss]

Thanks so much! ^__^

Damn, I had thought I already commented on this! I am in awe how you pained around the outlines (without masking tape). I‘ve seen three episodes of Kinn Porsche and I immediately recognised them, so well done.

[goss]

Ha! OMG yes, it was indeed painstaking work. I had to paint the outline with plain water first, which is completely TRANSPARENT btw /o\, before flooding it with watercolour. I'm so glad you like the overall effect, and especially delighted that you recognize the characters from their outline! ^__^

I'm impressed with your technique - this look amazing!

[goss]

Aw, thank you! ^__^

Aha! Seeing the gif, now the blue and the movements make sense - I'd thought they were dancing strangely (or fighting). It's a really effective negative space!
