I have so much fun painting in gouache. I found an awesome reference of superman and replicated it as part of my painting practice.

To start off, I prepped an illustration board with gesso, creating a texture that I liked. I then sketched out my rough idea onto the board, and moved on to laying down my darkest darks. From there, I worked my way into color, layering as I went along. Layering is a big part of my process as it allows me to create depth and richness in the colors.

Once I'm happy with the values that I've placed, I'll go on top with more details, adding highlights and shadows to create dimensionality and depth in the piece. Throughout the process, I make sure to step back and take breaks to get a fresh perspective and assess the progress of the painting.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about my process. I hope you enjoy my artwork and feel inspired to create something of your own!
