  • Hello, hello, hello! Thank you for joining me for another cozy painting session! In today's video, I'll walk through my whole illustration process (the good, the bad, the ugly, and the REALLY ugly), and share with you a little story from my childhood that helped me create this piece. I'll show you some AMAZING watercolor tips I've been learning as well as a few little "art boo-boo's" I tend to make. XD
    Supplies:
    -Shinhan watercolors: amzn.to/3L7j0Ht
    -Arches Cold Press Paper: amzn.to/3KsQvDA
    -Princeton paint brushes
    Let me know which little bunny is your favorite!! :)

    I loved this video, which I found randomly when I was trying to psych myself up to even thinking about illustrating my book. It ended up making me tear up. You did such a beautiful job! I am so fearful of messing up and not being "good enough," but your delightful dialogue and cozy scene, and the sweet memory with it, has really inspired me. Thanks! : )

    Ok I know that I say this every time, but I truly think this one is your best painting yet!! Those bunnies are just too cute; I can’t pick a favorite 🥺 also, I learned so much from this video!! I had no idea you could do the from greyscale to color technique with watercolor! I thought that it was just a digital and oil paint thing 😂 also when you talked about simplifying things and making sure you don’t distract the background details from the main focal point, I had never really considered that! You made so many good points.

    • @allisonaletha
      @allisonaletha  3 года назад

      Oh my goodness THANK YOU!! You are too sweet. 🥰 I’m so glad you enjoyed my illustration and that the video was helpful for you! The greyscale method has been LIFE CHANGING for me 😂

    My favorite bunnies are the twins! Somehow they look a tad naughty as if they would be in the middle of things. And the one in the blanket is a tad confusing: where is his ears?? Are they folded back behind his head? But it is confusing as the others all have ears and then he doesnt have any so it makes me wonder if he could be a different type of critter visiting his rabbit pals (if that makes sense).

    • @allisonaletha
      @allisonaletha  Год назад

      Awee thank you!! They do look a bit ornery. 😂💛 The blanketed bunny is meant to have his ears stretched behind him as his head is thrown back in a yawn. 😊

    This was such a cute illustration! You always put so much work into it, and it really shows! I love it very much, and I really admire your talent! I tried out Watercolor the other day... It didn't go too well. Heh, but I did my best I think.
    Another great job! Very nice! =)

    You said you used a lightbox to transfer the image to the final surface. Isn't watercolor paper too thick to use with a lightbox? What paper did you use for the final image?

    • @allisonaletha
      @allisonaletha  Год назад

      I use Arches watercolor paper! The lightbox I use has a few different brightness settings, so I use the strongest setting when transferring to watercolor paper. 😊

    Is hot press or cold press better for watercolor children's book illustrations?

    • @allisonaletha
      @allisonaletha  Год назад

      That's a great question!! I don't think there's really one type that's better than the other; it's more up to the personal preference of the artist. I do have a video in my Beginner's Guide to Gouache playlist that goes more in depth on the different kinds of watercolor paper and what they're good for!
