Drawing the making

After working very loose and drawing very freely and expressively I decided to control my drawing and produce some pencil drawn detailed images.

These were really fun to do because it was my opportunity to create something realistic and I gave myself time that I would not normally give to draw one piece and really capture the shape and shadows.

These were then loosened up a bit to add colour and movement. I like drawing with pen and then adding colour loosely over the top; mixing the paint on the paper and I would like to do this more, on a larger scale.
