@Tiffany-Thomas Out of curiosity how long did it take you to complete this character? I'm always impressed with artists who continue to use traditional creation methods and you do it so well!

@Jeremiahbrown The watercolor portion for this one took about 5-6 hours, then the scanning, cleanup and digital touch-ups probably about another 1-2 hours. I can usually get the underpainting done quickly, less than an hour. Here's a pic of the underpainting. I think on the next one I may scan at this point and then finish it digitally and traditionally so I can compare the results. For me the advantage to working in watercolor is the quirkiness and imperfection that happens, digitally I have a habit of trying to over-render and control every little detail and digital paintings actually take me way longer because I get super indecisive, lol.
