I have gone gaga for textures. I am trying so hard not to use them in all of my pictures, but I am finding it difficult `cause when I try to leave them without the end result looks barren. For example for this: [link] I found this great heart bokeh texture that was just perfect for the theme. And don`t get me started on the grunge textures.

I think I should buy a scanner to make my own textures `cause while using other people`s textures is easy and great it only takes ones pictures to a certain direction - which may not be the direction I want to go. Besides, I would like to try integrating some watercolour paintings with digital drawing really much - just like the talented Hannah Stouffer does in her amazing pieces. Check them out: [link] They`ll blow your mind.

And I you have any recommendations for a quality scanner, drop me a line.
