Companion
In Anders Mole. Those of you who see this "in the flesh" will see that the scanner's idea of color-accuracy is a bit pathetic. Water color, gouache. Click to view larger.
Scanners are tricky bastards, aren't they? A lot of times, they try to auto compensate for the colors and end up doing a bad job. It may be in the "advanced" settings somewhere, but there's usually a way to turn this off. I turn it off, because even if the resulting scan is a little dark or the color is a little skewed, I find it gives a better impression of the work. Still, I love your scribble technique!
