NotAsPretty.com | Fourth Friday Fan Art: Mario

My name is Doug Forbes and I am an artist. And this is the first of hopefully more videos I want to post.

This is a test.

On my blog, I post Fourth Friday Fan Art; a preselected character from a show or whatever done in one of my styles of art. Check out and subscribe to my blog at notaspretty.blogspot.com.

Mario is done in watercolor, in a style I learned as an apprentice tattoo artist, taught to me by Jay Langer of The Ink Factory in Hudson, Wisconsin. He called it spit painting. The title apparently because of how many times you put the brush in your mouth to regulate the measure of water put on your support.

@torawfordiz Looks like it is some type of illustration board judging by the thickness of it. I like crescent # 300 cold press.

the paper has some stiffness watkind is it

[torawfordiz]

how do u keep the paper for buckling

[sleepinggiant210]

i dabble in water color and this is by far the cleanist and most well kept ( like the colors arent bleeding all over the place) piece ive seen the paper doesnt seem to be wrinkleing and the line work doesnt seem to be bleeding out i would love to see more of your work! i have learned from this. This is truly a hidden gem
