Description
Finally compiled enough photos to do a tutorial.Most of it is common knowledge but I hope it answers some questions. C:
If you have something you'd like to know in addition, feel free to ask them here and I'll try my best to answer.
p.s. I get asked a lot about masking fluid but no, I don't use it very often. None was used for these pictures.

Wash layer is when you wet your entire piece of paper and drop colours into it so you get a light colour effect.

Do you happen to have a tutorial on how you scan colors? Your pieces always turn out so lovely and I just wanted to know how you preserved the colors so nicely

Mmm there's not much to say about the process.
It's basically scanning->Open photoshop->Clean the dust-> Use levels to adjust the colours. <:

Oops, I meant to say Curves, instead of levels.
So go to curves, and there's 4 areas you can adjust including RBG, red, green, yellow. C:

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! It really helps a lot! I've used this tutorial for one of my works and i would like to give you credit. Do you know how to do the link thing where the description has your icon but is also a link?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you mean :icon username: ? Just put someone's username after :icon without the same and you can link them.^^

have you ever used red watercolour to fake a cut? It looks most persuasive in one of the indented lines in your skin. It's really quite fun.

No but funny story:
I noticed how the crimson looked like blood, so I started dabbing at a spot on my leg. Then I added some blue and purple, and a yellow outline. I made a bruise. My friend told me no one would buy it, but she was wrong. Everyone was like "omg, what happened?!" And I was all "I tripped on the stairs"
best part- I told my gym teacher that I tripped, showed her the bruise, put on a fake limp and a pained face, and got out gym for the day!
Try story~

this has inspired me to start doing more watercolours, it's a really great tutorial! but what's white gouache?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
<: White gouache is a type of paint. Sort of inbetween watercolour and acrylics because it is not see through but still washable.
