      Making progress but dang, do I miss the Control-Z function!
      Traditional can be SO much more frustrating than digital at times, am I right?
      Starting to add some coloured pencil over the top of the watercolours. I'm going to do the background separately, because I'm too fearful that I'm going to murder the whole thing with the background. Playing it a little bit safe, you might say.

            @MattBaker yesss I switch media often and find myself mentally thinking β€˜undo, undo!’ Alas nothing has yet to ever happen. Maybe one day. Love the line work and it’s looking nice. You can do it πŸ‘

                I've pretty much finished the characters, now to put them in the scene. Getting close, having fun.

                      Very nice! Are you going to add the background digitally?

                        @Julia thanks! Yeah I'm attempting to add a digital background, but not full page, just a vignette type'a thingo.

                            @MattBaker I think you should try to make the background colours lighter or more transparent or more pastel to really differentiate the background with your main subject. But yes! Otherwise it looks good to me! I like it!
