Description I really do need to work out how to fix up paintings in photoshop, if anyone has any tips or knows any good tutorials I would be very grateful. 

Anyway, this is my part of an art trade with the amazing , of their character that can be seen here:
fav.me/d7tosaz

I am very pleased with the background, although you can't see the wash at the back because of the strange things I did to the picture to try to make it less grey. The shading as well went well, I think overall I surprised myself with this. The tail was odd to draw, but I do love the idea of it, and I think it worked out ok in the end. I used this stock as a reference for the body:

And this for the feet (because I completely forgot how feet worked):
fav.me/d3d9439

My boyfriend really liked the crown, he commented on it basically every time I asked him what he thought.

This is beautifully done! I love the swirling motion of the fur, especially the tail and how it merges in with the background almost. I don't know any tutorials (I just mess around with the auto contrast and levels and such)

Thank you! I was a bit confused at how to do the tail traditionally, but I am pleased I managed to get it to work. 
Yeah, I ended up a with loads of layers trying to sort it out, but I was wondering if there might be a simpler way. I guess I will just have to try to get a bit more used to it.

I think it came out great looking also like it's fractured crystal too with those angular lines, but i do like how you used different line thicknesses
Hmm did you scan this or photograph it?

Thanks I wasn't sure if I should change the line thicknesses when I was working on it but I am glad I decided to in the end.
Photograph, my phone camera is the only way I have of digitising traditional things at the moment, which is probably part of the problem.

It was a good idea! Sometimes after colour, I'll reline everything just to make it pop!
I tried taking it into photoshop for you, but the problem was those corners, the solution I can think of is maybe painting over them to fill in the white again

That's probably the best idea. I'll try that and see how it goes.

I am so glad you like it! I was a bit worried. 
And' don't worry about it, one nice thing about watercolours is that it is possible to do things fairly quickly with them so I am not expecting your part to be done immediately.
