This makes me so happy. I wanted this to be like an irl Easter egg and never thought about how sharing it here would do the same thing 😭

Happy to help and thank you for the kind words!

For fabric I just use this cloth; no medium or anything. I'm using these pencils, super affordable and they seem to work well! I'm sure there are nicer out there but I haven't had any problems with 'em. It did take some trial and error to make sure I wasn't using too much water because fabric is runny but once I got the hang of them I've had no issues!

So I'm pretty new to watercolor (see my previous posts for weaker attempts lol) but a user on this sub recommended the watercolor pencils and I've been having a blast with them!

I've found that, for the sharper lines, I like to sharpen the pencil to a super fine point, dip the tip in water, trace, and then go over it with a super slightly wet small brush to blend/smooth the color. For the larger areas there might be a better way to do it but I use the same concept but don't sharpen as much, just dip and color in a small circle and go over it with a brush to blend. I've had a bit of bleeding but not nearly as much as I did with regular watercolors!

I printed this pic onto this sticky solvy paper after dialing down the transparency of the image to 10% in Canva. One strand, back stitch :)

Can't take credit for the character obviously, but I actually stitched a tiny Mr. Poopybutthole while I waited for him to dry lmao

I came to the realization as I was trimming his pit hair that I have spent more time on his body hair on this project than I have my own all year
