I had SOOOOO much fun drawing this and coloring it =D
I really need to get back to my watercolors...I forgot how much fun they were. It is just so hard to juggle two mediums....
Anyways! There are a couple different versions of this image...
When I was finished adding the color I almost always do a scan before I move on to the next phase of blending the colors with a wet brush just in case....I fudge it up XD And since I am notorious for leaving my backgrounds blank the Pixl editor on Photobucket is like....my best friend <3 SO This is is what came of that! The funny thing is...I love this one more than the final version. Sometimes smoothing out the colors is a bad idea, in this case, it was.

The border/textured overlay was created digitally.
(look in scraps for the original, unaltered version.)
