GLAZE
> Waterdown your 1st colour so it becomes light
> Paint an area and let it dry
> Choose another colour and also water it down to be light
> Once your 1st colour is dry, paint over it with your 2nd light colour.
(What happens to your first colour? This technique is subtle and is used to slightly lighten/darken or saturate your 1st colour)
BLEEDING - ALSO ADDING COLOURS
> add colour to one area
> clean brush completely and load it with a lot of water
> Tap the brush into the colour & don't brush over the area
> Keep dropping in colour and water to create a
'bleeding effect'

LETTER EXAMPLE - A = alligator
So this is the final product...
As you can see, I coloured in the teeth black (fineliner) as they yellow teeth were not quite working
I have used more than one tone of green and blue to build up colour on the alligator skin
You can spot little areas of texture and bleeding
I have tested colours on the right hand side
