    I love the detail the gouache adds to the watercolor beneath it. Really makes it pop. I've heard a lot about how toned paler can help you understand and formulate shadows and highlights a bit better in artwork. Will have to try that out for myself sometime! Great demon artwork. I love the detail.

    Gosh, this is amazing Daniel! I am blown away by this character creation and development! I am terrible at drawing things from scratch - I always work from a reference photo but you have amazing creativity and imagination. Keep up the incredible work, I've subscribed👍
  • It's so satisfying to see you painting that it made me want to do it again! I loved the video!🤩

    Just as I bought a toned paper sketchbook for gouache practice, you come out with a video doing exactly that. That you very much for the walk through. It's very helpful for me to see how other artists apply gouache and watercolor, especially as I'm struggling to learn on my own. Beautiful job on the painting and creature as well. I'm looking forward to future videos.
  • The toned paper really makes the character pop off the page. I love this style! I've never done a watercolor underpainting with gouache. I am definitely going to do that!
