Test monsters

I've always loved painting, especially watercolor painting. My retail caricatures are all colored with watercolors. I do a bit of a different technique with those however, I use the paint to fill in the areas between the lines that I've already drawn in marker, like a coloring book.

I have tons of ideas for new paintings and I want to play around with watercolor techniques I haven't done in a while. The paintings I have in mind require a softer, more textural feel, while still being cartoony. I decided to experiment with a few little monsters.

I sketched them out lightly in pencil first and then colored them in with the watercolors. I then went over the top of them here and there with markers just to accent them. I like the result, and I think it's going to look great for what I have in mind...
