I experimented with a few things (after some pretty intense Googling on the subject). I ended up using Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleedproof White with a pretty inexpensive calligraphy pen (holder and nib). It was my first time trying calligraphy and I'm really happy with the results!

Of note, I also tried the Sakura Jelly Roll pen, which I was planning on using for the non-cursive addresses -- you get the same opaque white ink, but it's so much easier to use than the calligraphy pen! Ultimately, I ended up sticking with the calligraphy pen because wedding-brain told me that it was worth the effort. But you should totally check out the Jelly Roll pens!

The hair has a pattern and texture that reminds me of wood. Instead of drawing out the strands, try focusing more on the hair as a whole...? I'm not quite sure how to explain so I just found a quick video instead.

Also invest in a white gel pen. My friends use the Sakura Gelly Roll https://www.amazon.com/Sakura-37488-3-Piece-Blister-Medium/dp/B0077RHJSK and I also like to use it for drawing a few shiny strands of hair, but I otherwise personally prefer Uniball since it's more opaque. I say this because I feel like this piece would pop out better with contrast if you had colored in the background with a lot of black. It would give the stars more shine, and I think the roots would look good in white against black. Contrast is very eye catching.

I've never used a black paper book before, but I do use White ink markers and pens for highlights on my work.
It can be a challenge to work with though because it tends to be a little chunky. For all intents and purposes you're trying to draw with White Out.


The Pigma Gellyroll Classic 08 is really good (Honestly I feel like you can rarely go wrong with Pigma pens.)


I can't find a link for it, but the Recollections Signature Opaque White Marker is pretty good too.

Here I used the simplest white gel pen see this

White gel pen

They’re pretty easy to use for bright highlights

"White" carbon paper and chalk pencils rub off too quickly for my liking. I spend more time touching up the design. For dark fabric I use the this gel pen. But it doesn't wash off, and it certainly doesn't rub off. It works for me on the back of fabric.

Nice video, definitely ambitious for a beginner! The curl highlights are an example of a look I would approach without masking fluid. It might take a little more time but with an accurate sketch and some careful dry brush technique you can preserve enough white to maintain that shiny look. While I encourage you to challenge yourself to improve brush technique, I realize this strategy might not appeal to everyone. It can be difficult to avoid the white areas — especially if you're still getting the feel for your brushes.

 

You have good instincts for the alternatives! White crayon works great as a wax resist. I have also seen people use candles and other waxes to do this. There are some drawbacks. You can't manipulate or remove the wax once it is on the paper and it keeps resisting so you can't easily paint over the top of it. Also, white wax is difficult to see on white paper (it does catch the light differently) — you can of course use other colors but the example you gave had page-white highlights. This technique is good for adding texture.

 

White gouache is also a good thought. Unless applied very thickly, white gouache won't be as bright as the original paper and can move around some when painted over. White watercolors also exist but tend to be less bright and more ready to mix and run after drying. There are also "liquid paper" products that come in a variety of different whites to match most watercolor papers, these dry permanent. A similar option is watercolor ground which is essentially a porous gesso that absorbs watercolor. The drawbacks are that these processes will take the paint a little differently than regular paper — Colors can seem more washed out and almost pastel though results will vary between methods, paints, brands. These are best for finishing touches or "oh shit" emergencies.

 

You can also use acrylics with watercolor. White acrylic over the top or acrylic medium as a resist before painting. I suggest using matte medium. Keep in mind that acrylic is basically plastic so it wont absorb water and has a tendency to stand out when used with watercolor.

 

The above techniques are the ones I would recommend for the specific challenge you mentioned, go with whatever makes you most comfortable but definitely try with only brushwork if you're at all inclined. I'll go ahead and list more of the resist & whitening methods I'm familiar with because one of them might appeal more to you.

 

/u/rulenumber303 mentioned gel pens. I think they work great for fine detail but aren't good for large areas. Most artists use Gelly Roll pens — many gel pen brands wont work well over watercolor.

 

You can also use tapes as a resist. This RollerBond product dispenses removable tape in thin lines. You can use some
Scotch 'Magic' Tape which forms a very hard line or masking tape/painters tape which has a slightly different line quality. For large areas you could try Frisket Film which is basically a friendlier form of Contact Paper. You can cut complex shapes out of most of these using an Exacto knife if needed. Remember to burnish (push down & rub smooth) for best results. These are good for straight lines, hard lines, or large areas.

 

Speaking of exacto knives, you can use them to scrape or scratch the paper to reveal the white beneath. Make sure you're using a thicker paper (e.g. 140lb, 300lb) and be careful not to paint over that area again because the paint will appear even darker than usual. This is a good technique for fine hairs or stars.

 

White watercolor pencils can be used but this tends to be faint and doesn't offer many advantages. It could be nice for a light texture somewhere.

 

There is a lot you can do with stencils. (cheesecloth, leaves, coins, w/e)

 

I've seen people use a lot of other random techniques involving things like white out or oil pastels. I haven't tried them but they're out there.

 

You've got a good attitude about creative limitations and as you can see there is no shortage of alternatives. I'm sure you've encountered many of these options in your searching but I thought I'd give you my opinions and you can decide what suits you best. I left out some wet resist techniques like adding water or alcohol because if you've made it this far you must be getting tired of reading by now. Let me know if you have any questions and if you want more specific recommendations just ask. Good luck!

Happy NOW Friday my friend :)

This is something cheap on my wishlist.

u/Moosemellow · 1 pointr/Watercolor

Probably these, or a different brand. I try to always keep one with me when working with watercolors and gouache.
