Puzzle Description:

My first shot at a puzzle.

fun solve!

I used el, iel, and 2-way, but no guessing!

First shot is shit usually... Practice makes perfect! :)
Better do smaller puzzles or put some other colors to the green parts.
10 rows with the same color in full length can be VERY boring

The green edges look suspiciously like filler. Whenever you save the puzzle you're working on, it goes back to the height and width bars. You could have resized it to a 30x30, although the program adds/subtracts the rows to/from the right side and bottom. So, you would need to shift the picture 10 squares to the left. I've had to do this in the past, and it's easiest to shift a 5x5 block at a time, so you can keep track of what you've moved.

The other alternative is the clear the board and start over, which I did with my last puzzle, when 30x35 was too small to get good facial details, so I started over on a 40x45 grid.

Listen to Kristen, who has very good advice as she is a very accomplished puzzle maker.
