Eye Dream

I borrowed "Holy Mountain" months ago on Netflix and finally finished the film just last week. There's a lot of good imagery in Jodorowsky's films. Hell, an abundance of great things to paint. I decided to chose a character who wasn't really important in the film but the way she looked was what captivated me. She had a chimpanzee companion and somehow climbs the holy mountain following the 9 'planet' deities. I don't know, it's a little obscure but I love it! Here is my process:

Simple linework

Adding first layer of colors

more detailing

Final

All the colors were pretty much arbitrary, and I didn't go into this with a plan. I drew right on top of my watercolor block, and started with pencil lines, gone into it with microns, and watercolored to finish. 

"The Subject For Today" (H.R. Pufnstuf)

Sketch directly on watercolor paper (ouch)!

Started to add a lot of detail. Oh how I love to paint pants. I almost always start with a warm colored wash on everything.

Almost done.

Final

This piece was inspired by the late 60's to early 70's tv show, H.R. Pufnstuf. I really enjoyed doing this painting because the show had so many colors to offer. I couldn't pass it up. Anyway, Jack Wild was a cute kid. I loved his outfit and I loved how charismatic he was throughout the whole thing. I used microns over graphite, erased all traces of pencil, and watercolored the whole thing in a day. Ps: I love mushrooms. Yes I said it!
