So I've recently acquired new art tools.

a Lightbox
and watercolor cartridge brushes.

Both have helped a TON in my art quality.
because the light box allows me to redo a picture as much as I want
and the brushes allow me more control over the paint dilution and control.

In my practice to get the hang of these tools I re did my "oh well" picture.
and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of my lines and paint.
