Dolphin in watercolor.

[gvand]

Hey guys! this time I made a dolphin with watercolor and some details with colored pencils, I did not think this drawing was going to take so long, but I did not count with an error in applying the watercolor... For a moment I wanted to put it in the trash because I thought I had no remedy... but I could finish, I hope you like the result as much as me.

 Gif 

Drawing process

 1. sketch.

2. Base Color (In this step I'm wrong and apply a yellow by mistake).

3. I left the dolphin for the end and started with the bottom (I knew that correcting that yellow spot was going to be difficult). 

4. Fade with wet brush

5. Late hours to make the dolphin, do you remember the yellow spot? Also finish touch-up with the dark grey pencil.

Beautiful ⭐️🐬 I’ve yet to really dabble into watercolor but I’ve got a closet full of watercolor paper that I bought in college when I really needed Bristol — so Ended up not using it!

This is Inspiring 🌸 @esaia.mystic

Thanks for your response @kristyglas Let's hope that you take into account your words.

Well I have resteemed the post when I first saw it :) which on steemit is pretty precious haha
Also have you considered making it a bit more blue? You can edit digitally, because you don't realize right away that it's a dolphin in water, when looking at the thumbnail of the post :)

[gvand]

Because I liked the color of the turquoise reflex T.T hahaha I had many problems to make this dolphin... I do not clean my brushes before starting

[kristyglas]

It looks clean to me xD
And I know what you mean, I'm terrible with watercolors, but definitely want to learn :D
Which is why I appreciate you sharing steps and resteemed it ^^

Maybe add like areas with blue, but leave main color turquoise? It should be easy enough digitally, with masks or erasing.

I was also terrible (I still am) but I love painting with watercolor... The thing is that you risk experiencing... is very relaxing and you can start with simple things like birds: 3
