Description
Watercolors on handmade paper.Watercolor does NOT work well on handmade paper. It bleeds. Horribly. I either forgot to size this piece of paper (sizing is a way of making paper not bleed) or this kind of paper is just not made for watercolors.
Scanner is still not working. Had to take a picture with my camera, so sorry for the shadows.
Paper took about ten minutes to make, doodle took about fifteen minutes to sketch out, and then another half-hour or so to ink and color.
Yes, I drew him upside down. I do better drawing upside down. So I figured I'd keep it.
DP design is (c) Butch Hartment
Paper design is mine.

yeah, but then for some reason the toolbars in photoshop disappeared and i got very very confused! i think i'll printscreen it and paste it into paint. it'll be all blurry but it's better than nothing.

Ah, there you go. Good idea.
My toolbars disappear all the time too! Very annoying. I think you fix it by getting out of the program and... doing something... I never remember what. My brother talks me through it. *shrug*

yeah, but even when i quit the program the toolbar wouldn't come back.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Huh. Try holding down 'shift' when you open the program and see if that'll reset the workspace.
