affinity designer Watercolor skull

[KarinC]

The goal was to make this look like a watercolor rather than a realistic illustration. I think it came pretty close. It was much harder to do than a real watercolor. The actual size is 20" X 16"

I'd appreciate any comments. I still have a few things to add.

Very nicely done, Karin...love the soft, subtle color palette.

Stunning! I think you have achieved it! 
What brushes did you use?

Thank you!

The one is used the most is Affinity Ink Brushes by MiksKS. It has both brushes and brush stamps - both raster. I also used quite a few of the Textured Vector Brushes for Affinity Designer by Sav Scatola as well as Watercolor Wizard vector brushes from Artifex forge.

Thanks.. I came across MiksKS before with his 'Grain Volume' also impressive I keep meaning to do some wash brushes to go with my inks!...
