As a little change of pace for myself between commissions, I decided to post up a little "artist asks" list game on Tumblr for fun. One of the asks I was given was "redraw one favorite piece of art by other (internet/Tumblr) artist."
I didn’t have to think too long to choose which piece of art I wanted to try and redraw: this commissioned illustration of Nightcrawler done by kevinwada.
I discovered Kevin Wada’s work on Tumblr, and since then, they’ve remained one of my absolute favourite artists, particularly for X-Men related fanart.
Redrawing Kevin Wada's picture gave me a great excuse to experiment more thoroughly with my watercolour painting methods in PaintTool SAI, and this ended up being a lot of fun! But redrawing a piece inspired by someone else’s art felt REALLY weird to do… Really fun, but really weird. I feel like I’m breaking some sort of artist rule!
