Weekend Experiment: Get Equipped

It's Megaman! To be honest, I liked this one a lot better before I added the outlines. The drawing itself is a bit off. The background wash is streak-y. There are just a ton of things I'm not happy with here.
But I really liked the small washes on the feet and helmet. I am starting to become more confident fading from dark to light. It's also starting to become clear to me how to achieve more brilliant colors. As in all media, it's a matter of contrast.
There's a whole other world of color theory in watercolor. The world of simple primaries, secondaries, and tertiaries is just the surface...

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!

A Competent Profile

As I start to become more familiar with proportions and measurements for the various faces I attempt to draw, I am starting to wonder how to make a more complete portrait with my limited time. Do I stick to lines? Do I bring a brush and some ink? Which lines should I include? Which shapes are important to represent? Maybe this is a good time to look at the work other artists have done and try to work out some of their methods.
