Watercolor Wash Background Tutorial

Description

You can view a speed painting of this tutorial in the beginning of the Youtube Marker Speedpaint of this illustration. The watercolor wash background part of it goes from 0:00 to 0:53. youtu.be/MMf3PJl554Y


I've been wanting to do a tutorial for a while, so I thought I'd start with something simple. Before I color any of my illustrations with markers, I always do a watercolor wash on them. Not only do I love how watercolor backgrounds look, but working on top of a different color other than white with my markers always yields a beautiful effect.

I hope this is of some use to someone somewhere. :)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. ^_^
