Me: Yay, a skintone tutorial for watercolors!
YouTuber: So ... I don't like to use realism in my skintones. Here is me painting a forehead straight up blue.
Me: But .. but the title said ...
My watercolor adventures continue and I have so many regrets. How do watercolor peeps deal with pigment contamination? Like every video I see, the yellow pans visibly have green or brown in them. I struggled to keep my pans pure just while doing some swatching and practice stuffs.
The only upside to all of this is that I feel less self conscious about the cost of using alcohol markers. I was using a colored pencil lining technique and wow, I chewed through a bunch of that pencil in just one drawing. I still think that alcohol markers are one of the spendier mediums to get into, but it's not quite the stark contrast I thought it was. I have yet to use up a single marker, even though my most used ones are Ciao markers. I've gone over drawings 3 or 4 times with my E00 Ciao to smooth things out and it still keeps ticking. Some of my markers are ten years old and work like new. I've only had one marker fail on me and I fixed it pretty easily. Tho now that I've said that, who wants to bet my beloved E00 dries out on me next week and I have to have my first refilling adventure?
