Cat Farris: Art For Hire

I recently had the great pleasure of being asked to watercolor over my original art for my Luna Lovegood print. I wanted to stay as close as possible to my original idea, but I wasn’t sure exactly how to go about it. So in true Farris form, I just started painting and hoped for the best! The result was a piece of original art I am truly proud of, and I got to experiment with a few new techniques that I can now add to my watercoloring bag of tricks. I like the hand-colored version so much, I’m considering getting prints of it made to replace the computer version I currently offer.

I hope you like it, too!

Here is the color version of the illustration I posted yesterday!

The color version of this is coming tomorrow, but I wanted to show off the inks for now! It’s Luna and a thestral, and I’m pretty happy with how I used black in this piece. I never got much training for how to use black areas as compositional elements, so I’ve been trying to practice a lot.
