Drawtober - day 3 - Ophis, old & thurisaz

[amberdreams]

Failed to hit the mark with Drawesome's prompts but I managed three others so yay!
SPNtober's old is a bit of a scrabble but the legend of Thor going fishing and fighting Loki's child Jormundgandr is pretty ancient so I'm counting that. Nikolas_tower's Obscurtober's prompt was ophis, which is about snakes - hence the World Serpent, and thurisaz is Thor's rune, for Jonas Lau Markussen's Futharktober, both on Instagram.









I forgot to take in progress pics, but bascially I sketched in pencil in my Mossery sketchbook, inked with a 0.05mm fine liner, then watercoloured over the rest. Oh and I tried masking fluid for the lightning but it didn't work that well. I should probably have used white ink instead. So I added a bit of white digitally. My watercolours are all handmade ones by Kwartscreations, and they have some fab granulations.

Oh wow what a fantastic piece! The colours in the background stand out to me particularly, such a great combination and nice wet in wet effects. The combination of all those prompts into one piece is very neat too.

Thank you! I'm discovering the joys of handmade watercolours - the granulations are fab. I did go a bit mad with using different ones in the sky but I wanted to see how they'd perform. 😁
