So to answer Tattoo til death and Tes' questions. Wet in wet means he blends one wet color into another with the area slightly damp where he wants to blend. The paint will only blend where the paper is moist so make sure not to keep everything wet unless you want it running all over the place. Modeling is the term used to make the thing being painted show form. Like making her face 3-D and have depth. It's hard to know what pros are doing unless you know the proper terms then it's a lot more apparent on whats being done.

I don't know how Joe does it because I haven't seen his DVD but what I have found is easier is don't use a pen to outline but a nice brush for the whole thing. FW is a nice waterproof ink and Black magic India is good too. You can spit shade with them and once they are dry will not reactivate letting you blend other colors over them and not muddying the color. Try lining with a brush it will give a nice line weight you can't get with microns or ripidio-graphs

thanks mario man great help, you just answered a question i was meaning to ask which is wether or not doing outlines with a watercolour brush is any good. saw some program where the guy who drew ghostworld and 8ball comics said he tried everything to get that comic book line that goes from thick to thin and only managed to get it with a watercolour brush. ill give it a try

on the wet in wet, do you mean that you get the area wet before applying paint to it, basically. cuz in that picture it just looked like a bunch of yellowish wet spots all over the painting. wouldnt you have to wet the spot you wanted to paint right before you actually painted on it, because all the other spots would just dry up before you could get to em. im sorry, i just dont think im readin yours right.

can you use any watercoulors or are some to shit to use? coz i really wanna give it a go but have VERY LITTLE MONEY to get some.
