I'm too lazy to blog about my past illness and I would like to honestly forget it as soon as possible so I won't do that. Moving on and focusing on getting everything done. I do feel that I'm up to date with illustration, however being sick seriously affected my study time and project time for art history, computer science, and digital graphics.
Gouache isn't all that bad if you mix it with watercolor...but I don't like how it's halfway between acrylic and watercolors. I like acrylics. I like watercolors.....can't stand halfway inbetween. Not opaque and goopy enough to get messy with but not transparent and flowy enough to look like watercolor....maybe it also has to do with my cheapo 24-tubes-for-9-bucks set as well. I bought watercolor tubes that were 9 bucks a tube and those things are like liquid gold. I think most of my newer projects will continue to be in watercolor or digital illustration.
So here is my lincoln comp and final piece. Pretty close! :D I'm glad I made the decision to add the purple bg wash in though. I put matte medium down first and it really let the gouache flow. That's got to be the only good thing about it. I don't think I could do that with watercolor quite as well.
