The fish of the sea

How you managed the reflection I have no clue. Utterly perfect. I read an article why astronauts wear white or orange space suits, to do with the reflection of the sun, but still love the bold colors on this. Peace and smiles. Looking good! The Fish of the SeaĀ

Glad you liked it. Yeah, I use several layering techniques. Usually it starts out with a base marker color, then color pencil and then acrylic paint and then sometimes marker on top of the acrylic paint again. In some instances, I'll even use oil and chalk pastels, white out correction fluid ( the very best white next to Titanium White acrylic paint and sometimes gouache paint. Spray enamels, watercolor, clear acrylic and enamel paint markers. Aside from other suit liveries, the color of ultramarine blue is actually one of the colors thatĀ  NASA has considered for future Mars Colony astronauts but I'm not sure if they'veĀ  settled on another one by now. Supposedly, Elon Musk CEOof SpaceX,Ā  wants to go to Mars in 2028, but NASA has a more conservative 2030's goal.
