*sticks head under your fist* I think it's made of wood!

This is lovely, my dear. You did a phenomenal job of colouring it, too, and you've managed a very motion-filled pose. Awesome work, Switch dahling! *hugs* You deserve to be very proud.

    Oh no. Are you like Pinocchio? Does your nose grow too when you lie? Anywhoo, thank you so much for liking this one. I was afraid of the coloring actually. My stupid markers are drying out. I need to get new ones. Oh guess what I bought today though? I bought a set of Cotman water color paints. I found a very beautiful piece that I want to draw that will look awesome in watercolors. I haven't painted in watercolors before, so it will be new. I have to put those canvases to use some day. Laughing Anywhoo, any pointers before I embark on my journey of water colors? All my love., Your wife, Switch

      First off - don't paint in watercolours on a canvas. Second, try using a good watercolour paper if you have it, and stretch it out (tape all edges down) onto a good piece of board. THat helps it not wrinkle when you put the paint on. Mostly, just play around some first, see what you can do. Remember they're transparent colours, so layering makes different effects, and with watercolours, it's easiet to work background to forground, and light colours to dark colours.

      Have fun, luv! (My nose doesn't grow, no. It can't it's already too big! Laughing )
