Description
Well, if there's anything I learned from this is that:A. ink detail-work and color markers do not mix well (depending on markers, the one's I use are for LARGE projects)
B. Colors look different depending on monitor settings
and C. Insomnia has terrible sense of humor
Whelp, up next I'll try pure water color and then just pure ink-work.
Either way this is great practice "it looks like shit...thank God these are only experiments, lol".

A colourful experiment, I quite like the halo around the feather/leaf. But it's good you got something out of it, even if you don't like it

Well the original colors and the scan/digital are VERY different.
Again whether this is due to way i scanned, the monitor, etc.
There's a lot more factors to consider. But hey, that's why I'm experimenting
And now, ONTO WATERCOLORS!!!

That was one of the main problems I ran into back in the day when I used to do primarily ink and color pencil work: the monitor settings making it appear washed out without as much rich color as the original before it got scanned. And the sucky part is, photoshop really can't fix that color tone no matter what.
I think this looks pretty good regardless of possible scan/color washing. The colors you chose are interesting as well. Tentacle sleep eater mask for the win

Yeah, I tried experimenting with it in Photoshop color-adjustment but it just made the colors more yucky.
But hey, hence why I'm even trying all this in the first place
I'm gonna experiment with watercolors next.
So far I think traditional pencil/ink and digital color is my fave :3
