Blooming Roses

Final outcome! What do you think? Do you prefer it with the black ink detail, or just with watercolour? Personally, I prefer the black pen as it adds depth and enhances the different colours. Sorry for the blurry quality of the flowers - my scanner doesn't seem to be working properly!

This time, I used black pen again, but with watercolour pencils to add in the hints of colour.

Drawing done from an old Vogue editorial in pen. I'm planning to start exploring different ways of doing fashion illustration, concentrating on using black ink. I chose the image to copy because of the model's interesting face and expression, though I'm not sure if I'm completely won over by using just fine black line for the sketch. To be honest, I'm not thrilled with the result, so next time I might go for more colour or smudge in the lines.
