Heya there! =) I saw the lineart on Paperdemon and instantly wanted to color it. So I asked 626elemental if I could and she said yes =) Warning, long rant Do you know what? These "happy little accidents" do actually happen. I wanted to color this piece via Watercolors, so I traced the lines, inked it (with my new ink and nib. Result here: [link] =) and it was nice and then I applied the masking fluid i bought recently. I made the background, let it dry, want to peel off the masking fluid and what happens? The f*&%ing thing ripped my paper! I want my winsor & Newton back... So I stopped to peel off, looked at the mess, and was angry as hell. Then I decided to try to cover it up with acrylics. never used acrylics in earnest before, cause they're harder to work with than watercolors. But long speech: It worked. And the more I worked with the acrylics the more feeling and liking I took to them. Will work more often with them in the future. The colors are so vibrant and you can cover up mistakes ;) Technical Stuff: Tools: Winsor&Newton Nut brown ink, Watercolors, Acrylics, Salt, Schmincke Rubbelkrepp *grrr* Paper: 300g/m², 100% rag (very nice to work with) Time taken: started today 9:30 am... now it's 8:50 pm. You do the math. I'm really happy with the outcome ^-^
