I am a fan of Nika in Wonderland on YouTube and she creates mixed media pieces that are whimsical and colorful. I personally love her use of female profiles, specially her ability to draw eyes and add rich texture to the piece.
One of the tools she uses a lot is the Neocolor water soluble crayons, which is a brand of crayon I also purchased and have been using a lot lately.
For my hearts I used: Sakura® Micron Pen 05, NeoColor “carmine” and “jaune citron” to add a touch of color. With a water brush pen I dilute the color until I got a the soft look of water color. Since I drew the hearts on regular drawing paper I started with small amount of colors. I dried the color with a heat gun and then added another layer of color. It would have been easier to just use watercolor paper but when I drew the hearts I was not planning to use color, this was an afterthought.
I do like the effect and will try using some watercolor paper or even mixed media paper to be able to add more color to my Zenspiration®.
Thanks for stopping by and make sure to enjoy your creative journey.
