Gaara is a really interesting manga character. I painted this especially for one of my friends as a going away present. It was done on really rough watercolour paper and you can see the texture in this scan.
See a more detailed version of Gaara of the desert (Black ink and watercolour illustration) on my new website.
'Color is crucial in painting, but it is very hard to talk about. There is almost nothing you can say that holds up as a generalization, because it depends on too many factors: size, modulation, the rest of the field, a certain consistency that color has with forms, and the statement you're trying to make.' - Roy Lichtenstein
