Told myself to redo it and here it is again... Didn't feel so restless painting this one, in fact, had to work fast on it. Took on the initial idea of no lines. Changed the paper to SCM Waterford instead of the Bockingford series. Somehow, I was quite surprised at the original yellow color of the paper showing up in the photo.
Placed both side by side and took another photo. The first one which used Bockingford paper didn't give that yellowish problem. The paper itself appeared white like the white gouache, but the white gouache was obvious on the waterford paper. Maybe the white paints were too concentrated this time round...? Or maybe the paper was tinted with the watercolor paints that made the white so obvious... Anyways... won't say this attempt was a good one. I'm still bad at detailing when it comes to no outlines. Everything appears vague and blur... Somehow, contrast not there yet, things are jumbled in a sense. Managed to capture Tsuna as the focus this round, with Hibari fading to the back and Lambo's hair kind of disappearing in the motion. Tried to do something about the sharpness with color pencils, but it didn't do the job. Although the colors and treatment of the picture was near what I intended, the main focus was not handled well.... Could have been more lively with more color changes and mixing. Looking back at it all, somehow felt my skills were just not there yet to paint the picture the way I wanted. Could be the lack of experience for that kind of painting. Ah well... next time.
