Description So! I downloaded some new Photoshop brushes today, which I haven't done before, and I needed a mental break from some of my other projects. So I just pulled up a little blank canvas to scribble on, to see how they'd look with different settings. And then, as I started layering things, I kept adding more to see what effect I'd get, and then it turned into... this.

There are lots of faults with it, but at the moment I'm pretty much just overjoyed that it turned out as well as it did, because I have a terrible, terrible time drawing freehand with my tablet, without a pencil-and-paper sketch as a base to build on. Also, backgrounds, I can not do them. So for a quick little experiment, I think it's not bad.

Main regret is that I made it so small. XD But, as I said... wasn't planning on an actual drawing, just scribbling.

It's very cute, and nicely done for a spur of the moment doodle.

Now I have visions of a magpie sized dragon flitting in and out of the front bushes, lol.

Thank you! It's funny how things can work out sometimes when I quit trying so hard to do it right and just play around for a while. *g*

The background isn't that bad. I think it looks good, and the light impressionish effect really makes the dragon and butterfly stand out.

I think little experiments/doodles always end up being something fun and epic. That normally happens to me too. ^^
I think it's because we get bored of just strict experimenting.

Anyway, I really like it.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It was just really fun to play with, and I was surprised and happy when it came together like it did. I think you're right - things like that seem to turn out well, probably because we've turned off all that pressure to "get it right" and just allowed ourselves to relax and take whatever happens. ^^

Thank you - I'm glad you like them! Doing backgrounds like that is really hard for me, so it's been fun experimenting with these new brushes, trying to see how to layer it so it looks good. ^^
