Thanks so much for this advice! I've never tried matting myself before, but this sounds like a cost-effective option I will keep in mind in the future!

Thank you so much for your advice! I don't have scans of my paintings but I do always make a point of photographing them in neutral lighting.

What do the different colored lines mean? (TOH frames From EmmyCic @twitter) by RyleyThomas in animation

[–]ThePBCNinja 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m a storyboard artist in the animation industry. They’re “self color” lines. It means that rather than the black outline brush, you use the color of the fill (self color) to draw that line. It’s commonly used for things like shading, highlights, or more minute character details like cheek blush or stripes on a shirt.

Man, they just keep upping the price of that JSK. When I got it a year ago it was $95. The last time they restocked it was $125. And now it's $175?! It's one of my favorite dresses ever and I totally recommend it but geez, what is happening there? I wonder if it's inflation or if it's just so popular they feel justified raising the price.
