I've tried using the selection & feather tools before for this kind of work, but found I liked the control of feathering the last bit of the edge with the eraser tool... but hey, what are your tricks for using the feather/selection tools? You might be doing something clever I haven't tried! Cheers, Heather Hey Milica, thanks for your comment!

I’m really pleased with how the illustrations have turned out, especially since they are entirely in watercolour (a first for me as normally I switch to pencil crayon for the finer details.) Here’s a preview of three of the sixteen illustrations for Riley’s Tooth.

I LOVE your work! I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your tutorials. I'm a graphic designer myself, but I work mostly in Illustrator. I'm embarrassed to say that Photoshop confuses the heck out of me! Your tutorials are always so easy to understand, and I always learn something. They make me want to do more projects using Photoshop! Thanks! Heather, I’ve been reading your blog for quite some time. I LOVE your work!
