My first try, the letter M on watercolor paper.
I like the roughness of the ends and the outside of the letter.

Second try, the ABC, smooth paper

My name is Maren, and I am trapped in my computer.

When I want to make analog images, I use my Wacom pen tablet. This week I discovered some nice looking Photoshop brushes which do feel kind of analog but they also feels like cheating.
