It was a total challenge to make a comics with watercolors !! And I was so AFRAID to begin the colors. T^T
Usually I work in digital with photoshop and mangastudio, with the crtl-z safety key. :P But here, no mistakes allowed, it’s a big pressure. I thought several times to give up because I was not happy with the watercolor rendering. But after all I was able to ignore the imperfections and imprecision of the paint. As I said to Algesiras (the writer) I found an old-fashioned charm in the work and accepted the pages as they are.
Today I’m really glad I made this page of comic in traditional painting ! :D
A retry (maybe) even if the work is a thousand times longer to do.
And you, what do you think ?
