Thats fucking awesome

You basically do as much of the same things with water color as me minus the whole leaving the pencil marks on for a lighter effect :3 Nice tips!

Nice. How were you able to get such a clean scan of it? Whenever I try to scan a water colour piece, the parts where the moisture has bent the paper leaves a nasty looking shadow in the scan.

First off, what kind of paper do you paint on? I always use prestretched watercolor paper in drawing blocks. Keeps it from denting. Of course I always paint quite small and that also helps, but the example in the tutorial was made on A4 and it dented a little. I usually scan it while it's still in the block. Or, if I scan it after I've cut it loose, then I put a heavy book (same size as the painting) on top of it in the scanner so it will be flattened and keep from sliding when I pull the cover down. That's what I did with this one. It also matter what weight the paper is I think. Heavier paper can suck up more water without denting. I usually use paper with the weight of 300 gsm (grams per square metre).

Hope I helped!

Thanks. I don't think I've ever used paper that thick.. gotta buy some and test.

This is a wonderful tutorial, I'm totally faving it for future reference.
(Isn't toilet-paper such an amazing artistic tool?) XD
