Watercolour + Pencils

After colouring my boats with watercolour paints, I noticed they were a little too "light" in the water and needed some anchoring. It's surprisingly dark between the bottom of a real boat and the top of the water, so I really needed to deepen the shadows, which I did with Prismacolor pencils. I also added some depth to the inside of each boat and highlighted the ropes a little more.
