@Eel Very nice! I really like the black shading. I never shade with black because I risk ruining drawings, but I love it when others shade with black. It's always used masterfully and gives off a nice effect. The mushroom cap sort of gives me sunset vibes with the colors.

@Zuljaras I used an acrylic paint marker over the dry watercolor. (The gray on the floor is a generic alcohol marker).

@Pastellioli Oh when I began adding the black lines I was very much afraid it was already ruined hahaha. It kind of got better as I kept going at it.

@Eel A lot of artists say you should "never shade with black" but I think that shading with black is really cool and looks clean, though of course when shading with black it can be a bit risky and you might think the picture is ruined at first, but I think it's just trusting the process as you go along. A lot of comic book and manga artists, as well as video game artists like Shigenori Soejima (with several artworks he made for Persona 5) do such a splendid job with shading with black, plus it can also convey a mood, like a more gritty or serious one.

@Pastellioli oh I love when they do the thick solid black shadows, like in the The Dark Spire.

@Zuljaras Since it’s a paint marker, I just thought it would be best to avoid wetting it too much. It applied fine over this brand of watercolor, mainly because it’s basically just ink so it’s pretty flat and it dries quick.

@Zuljaras a YouTuber I watch had good results using fine-pointed paint markers on figurines. That might be worth trying for small pieces!

@Eel I used that for his pupils but I guess the face was not smooth enough.

BUT the good news is that if you look at it from 2-3 meters away and squint your eyes it looks fantastic!
