GAAAh !!! The scanner killed it! it was really light and nice, but the paper looks all curled and ugly! Waaah! Sure to be scrapped but still....EDIT: Flattened with books and rescanned. Not too bad, cropped the rest of shadows.

I don't see any problems o.O are you talking about the dark spots on the paper?

Yeah that's from the paper curling. It's under books now trying to fix.

XD good luck with that, but if that doesn't work out then I suggest using dodge tool in Photoshop. Well I'm not sure if that is what you want though...

I think you're overreacting ^^ The shadows and curliness only make it look... mystical, like there's a magical aura around her *.* I love it!

Aw! Thank you so much! I wish I could lighten it, but I tried in photoshop and it looked really obvious.

I should buy expensive 300 paper but I can't afford! I use 140 or something.

ever tried watercolouring on wet paper? and freeze it after you are done?~ that should fix the problem and give it a really really nice texture ._.

Freeze it? Oo Wow what's it do?

mm, try it just draw a rainbow, first, wet your paper, and then start drawing on it, then drip the excess water off ._. then, take a towel, and pat it dry, and then, stretch it out, put it in the freezer~ (if possible, put it inbetween 2 boards ._. like thin wood boards, or inside a book(sometimes it sticks to the book...) ... when you take it out it looks different~ due to how the water crystalizes.~

Okay and that keeps it from curling?
