Nice work, and it will make Castle Under the Sea really pop

Thanks for the tips! I've used diluted ink as well, though that won't give you any lifting like the watercolor will.Francisco-art wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2019 10:07 pm Thank you so much.
The crab black micron pen with value added in with watercolor but used as a wash. Lots of yellows and oranges to produce a light gray once it's turned to a grayscale image.
I also sometimes use Payne's Gray (watercolor) but use it as a wash.
Here are a few easy ways to reduce file size (apologies if you already know them and I am sound like a wonk):Francisco-art wrote: ↑Sun Aug 04, 2019 10:11 pm Question for the boards: I also drew a graphite drawing but the image is 16 megabytes (I think, it's on my pc but I'm not home) after scanning it.
I tried posting it on the forums and emailing it but both attempts say it is too big an item to post/email.
Any ideas or solutions to get this image over to Solo/the team to use for Castle by the Sea? Any help will be much appreciated.
But as someone who's just a low-level tech kinda person (I'm a social worker in real life ) it's pretty simple to use.
A great free tool for doing all this is paint.net. It's MUCH easier to learn to use than Photoshop or Illustrator and it is free. Here's the link:Francisco-art wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2019 9:16 am Thank you all for the tips! I have learned so much! Thank you!
The only things I do on my pc is surf the web and play the occasional video game. But I have never learned to use it as the powerful work tool that it is. And if I want to be a professional illustrator one day I better learn this stuff.
Once again, thank you everyone for sharing your knowledge with me.
