Knuckles

Knuckles (watercolour and marker)

This year I’ve been spending every evening practicing art, but you wouldn’t know it because I only post work when it is fully completed and I am satisfied with it. I think we live in a world now that has been conditioned to treat everything as a source of generating content. No, focus on honing your craft, then share it with the world. Social media will distract you from meaningful progress if you’re obsessed with demonstrating superfluous improvements along the way. You think Da Vinci was cranking out a masterpiece everyday?

I’m trying to get more into colouring, I am finding I am fond of watercolours, it seems to be my favourite medium. Amazingly this is just a cheap watercolour set from Kmart. It’s surprisingly vibrant. This painting is based on a screenshot from the show Knuckles, I chose it because, aside from Knuckles being adorable, it presented a challenging lighting scenario . There’s also the difficult perspectice of the building behind him. That ended up being overwhelming, so I kept the background abstract. I’m most proud of how the flaming fists turned out.
