Something small and cute tonight - too wiped to stay up until 4am. (Falling asleep over this!) Also lesson learned: don’t use a discarded sheet as a straight edge with a fountain pen. Oops

watercolor has a rough learning curve. Not only that but I think there is a coating on the paper that might be interacting oddly with the paint. (It's the art plus sketchbook)
detailspreview

gonna give watercolor AND inktober a shot. Definitely inspired by @mitografia_kr sketchbook. (His instagram is amazing - check it out.) Also, the kremer pigments are crazy different than what I'm used to!
