Hey!
I’m not really the person to ask about ‘colour’ - but like you I was used to using more drier mediums like charcoal before discovering that gouache is awesome! :D
I find gouache a great medium for someone who doesn’t want to go all out with paint or wants an easier transition… I kind of draw with it, but a lot more freely and daringly, and with a lot more variation in mark making than what I could do with a pencil, say.
I like to apply lots of paint to do thick, dense marks, and when there is hardly any paint left on the brush I can have a more dry brush effect which
So I was looking through my Blogspot for some old drawings and I came across a post from just over a year ago that I realised I never posted on Tumblr and thought it was kind of fun… so I thought I’d recycle it ;D
“Looking upon a recent sheet of 30 second (life drawing) poses, it was almost like I was
given a catalogue of Key Frames and told to make some kind of movement.
I started to think, which ones could I use for a breakdown?
I love breakdowns :) I love the fact you can take two poses and go from
one to the other however the hell you want. We are often told to focus

only defines the style of animation - Realistic? Cartoony? - it defines
the physical properties of the thing that’s moving. You could have two
tests with the same keys but everything will change depending on how you
chose to play with lovely things like anticipation and overlap and spacing and bla bla… principles… bla…
So case in point…
