I found blue ink! This was a really quick experiment to see how blue ink and bleach interacted (featuring Megas!)

And fyi, when your art paper runs out, don't skimp on the GSM of the replacement. Especially if you paint with bleach! 😅

Lugia, ink, bleach and watercolour.

This is mostly just ink. The bleach and watercolour are just extra texture - I've included images from before as well to compare

Ho-oh, watercolour, ink, bleach.

I've been busy moving house so haven't had much time or space to do painting recently.

I've found that watercolour pencil isn't good at large areas like a sky. Still turned out okay though.

Just a happy little pyromaniac 🥰

I did this the opposite way around to normal, inking and shading before colouring and bleaching the combination. Not sure it'd always work but did here.

What if I said nothing about this picture is what I intended at the start, and that's why it's turned out so well? Art, right?

The paintress...?
I was trying a more subtle, wavery effect. The legs turned out well, but the top half was quite ink heavy. It's given me some other ideas though.

An experiment to see if I can paint ink on top of ink that's already been bleached.

Answer is yes, but it runs and I can't do lighter layers as easily.

It looks cool though. I like the moon effect.

Tales of Symphonia allowed you to transfer data from the original GC game to the sequel on Wii.

Sing like no one is listening 🎶

I didn't plan a pithy quote, I just messed the music notes 😅. The idea came from Sirene in Expedition 33, I just felt like drawing a dancing Pikachu 😂

Just realised it didn't include the last two photos - thought it'd be cool to show the progression

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Ink, bleach, watercolour and pencil

Busy couple of weeks, so naturally I chose a complex image that meant I spent ages on just one painting 😅. Loving Expedition 33 so much and the ink/bleach fits it's look so well.

I've been busy at a wedding this week, so here's a throwback to 2017, where I got second place in the art competition at the Pokémon European Championships (they still have drawing, but sadly no longer allowed to be a competition).

Eevee!

I thought the work in progress looked really cool as well, have a look at those.

Eevee, Pokémon - ink, bleach and watercolour.

Just had someone stop me to compliment how well ironed my shirt is, then startedexplaining how tumble dryers work.

Stay weird Bristol 😂

I started drawing and wasn't in the mood for my usual pieces - this was fueled by listening to Visions of Atlantis

Ink and bleach. Not sure about the composition (the ship is too high up?), but I like how the ocean turned out.

This was on a whim. I like it though.

Glaceon, Pokémon, watercolour and ink.

After seeing how much more effective Espeon looked with black ink outlines I wanted to try the same for Glaceon. I really like how those lines look like Legends Arceus.

Sylveon, Pokémon; watercolour, highlighters, ink

Something a bit different! Sylveon seems like they belong in their own little pastel world - I've used highlighters around the edges to create that.

But also 🏳️‍🌈!!

That version I posted was quite washed out for some reason, so let's try again:

Daniel @cinaclov.bsky.social · Jul 1

Umbreon, Pokémon
Ink and bleach, with watercolour (and red highlighter).

I was trying to mirror the Espeon I previously did - not literally (maybe I should?) but with elements like the light across the piece and the contrasting light/dark tones.

I added to this one, after seeing how faint and faded the pure watercolour looked online.
