Colored Lead with Watercolor-Easy Lineless Watercolor Illustrations
One of my favorite 'tricks' for alcohol markers or for watercolor is to create a lineless artstyle using colored leads. One of my favorite leads for this is the Pilot Color Eno Pink lead- perfect for florals and faces!
Today I want to walk yall through my process for using colored lead with watercolor. The materials vary, but the process remains the same on almost any substrate, regardless of whether I'm using alcohol markers or watercolors. Both watercolor and alcohol marker dissolve the pink lead a bit, and unlike graphite, colored lead won't necessarily ruin your marker brush tips.
If you're new to colored leads, I recommend you buy this set- it includes all 8 colors preloaded into handy mechanical pencils. I find it really handy to have color coded, designated pencils for my leads. If you have your own preferred mechanical pencils, you can get just the 8 pack of leads.
