Yeah, he made it all pretty didn't he. Love the transition he got working, even with the photos...didn't expect them to work that well.

What type of paper are you using again? Everytime I switch to paper (I normally use illustration board), the edges warp up and it's very difficult for me to scan in a flat image (I think I use too much water in my ink wash!).

Well, if you want to do watercolour ( as in a real watercolour with expansive washes and what not ) definitely go for actual watercolour paper, and stretch it before use. Stretching is good for anything you're putting much water on though. This thing was actually a print on some toothy photo rag paper that I then stretched up before adding the watercolour and some oils.

Pretty sure you can stretch regular comic boards and do washes on them without the warping too...just never needed to do it yet since it's not my usual method for interiors.
