Finally i menaged to upload this illustration!

This watercolour piece was intended to be the tarot card "The Tower", ad many of you surely have recognized, done for a project at the illustration's school i'm attending (the lineart was made as exercise for perspective lessons and the coloured version as watercolour's lessons exercise).

I decided to keep a kinda "classic" iconography in this piece (something i haven't done for "The Devil" tarot that i hope to be able to upload soon) even if i was free to choose a most unusual concept, because i wanted to put more effort in the colouration stage where i experimented more than a tecnique.

Even if i'm pretty satified with the result ,considering that i never experienced before watercolours on a so "full of particulars" lineart, i would like to try in the future a different subject and to practice more with this media since i really like it and i would like to be able to work on even more personal linearts (and as most of my watchers know more personal for me means "more full of tons of particulars" ).

Coming to the tecnical notes...

Media used:
-2b mechanical pencil for the lineart sketch
-watercolours for the colouration
-Fabriano watercolour's sheet 25,5 cm x 36 cm (the illustration itself is in a tarot card-size 13,5x27,5 cm)

Time needed:
-2 hours for the sketch
-6-8 hours for the colouration (watercolours are so damn slow to dry..)

EDIT:

Added a white frame as i did in the "Another point of view" deviation since Tarots usually have a white frame too and in the real version there's in effect the white frame around (in matter of view is better to see it with it that without ^^ )
