I took the paper out of the block and taped it down to an art board. It's not really the ideal surface, but I didn't feel like springing for a watercolor board. they're only $30, but it's a frickin piece of wood. I'd rather take an old ikea desk and chop it up.
I like to build up my colors slowly, layering in a bunch of colors that will eventually be covered up. Greens are my favorite. For some reason, green makes everything seem more three dimensional. I use it sparingly, though, as it tends to stain and is hard to lift off.
I will continue throughout the background before I touch my main characters. Hopefully I'll get to the main characters by tomorrow night. I'll keep you posted.
