Added 1 new A* page:I follow an artist named Cate Parr on Instagram and today she posted a really striking watercolor and pencil fashion portrait that is worth a look if you're into such things. : ) It made me wonder if I should be erasing my A* pencil lines—you can see what they look like before I erase them, on my own Instagram—and sent me flipping back to the A* pages where I *did* used to leave the pencil in—around episode 23, for instance. But that was largely because at that time I didn't yet have a grasp of how to replace the pencil lines with watercolor without losing the details of the image, and now that I look back on them, the pencil there seems more messy to me than anything. So I guess if I had really pretty pencil lines maybe I would keep more of them. : o Or maybe not? This is the kind of stuff that keeps me up nights. : P
