Retro Reboot

I last worked on it in 2012 but since then I've upped my digital watercolor techniques quite a bit, not to mention my initial lines in 'pencil' in Photoshop. My "About A Boy" series was supposed to delve back into my older PS techniques, but even that was smoothened out a lot by my use of the mixer brush. So I may have to reboot this drawing completely and start from scratch? Who knows?

Hi George,
Are all your digital drawing in Photoshop, do you use Corel Painter??

Nowadays I seldom use Painter. I used to a lot, but my copy is old as I never upgraded (I found the latest versions too slow on my Mac), and I developed the techniques I wanted in brushes I customized in Photoshop.

Ironically, I think this one was started in Painter, since I started it in 2007, but never got around to it because I didn't feel confident I could mimic a watercolor style digitally. Now that I know I can (in 2013 - who knew it would take so long!?!) I'm revisiting it. And hopefully finishing it!
