water color or 'colour' if we want to be fancy

so i just got a new sketch pad! it's huge! i couldn't even scan  the whole page.  but i felt like i needed to take a break from digital painting.  i just got bored, so i found some super old water color set from like elementary school (crayola?) and attempted to water color after like 5 years of not even touching it.  i'm proud of how it came out this little test.

i used some mixed colors, and a little white pastel action, and some brown markers.  i applied a nice brown overlay in photoshop to produce a nice warm effect.

i don't really know what's going on in the illustration: just a hand that came out a little odd, a random superhero/boy with a quirky mask, i like the speech bubble with the musical note, um 'brutal' is up there because i wrote 'this sketch pad is brutal' and it didn't fit in the scan.

why is it brutal? well it's not like my moleskine there are so many tiny dimples in the paper, i don't know if i can get use to it, the moleskine is very very smooth, and i love it.

we'll see.
