Asian Lily

Made with Derwent Colour Soft pencils on 200 gram ISO A3 paper. The background actually took twice as much time as the flower itself because there was a lot of area to cover and there are several colors layered on top of each other.

Sunshine van

Another one from the sketchbook. There’s at least a foot of snow out so this is obviously not drawn from life. I found a couple of reference images of the Volkswagen Type 2 and just made up the rest of the scene.

Used the Carbon Platinum pen for ink and some Koh-I-Noor watercolour pencils for a little touch of color.
