Colour Pencils
Thanks to Ania H for photo on Sktchy. This was inspired by Marco Mazzoni's Domestika class on Chiaroscuro. Still struggling to draw from imagination, so didn't add any imaginary elements at all!

Watercolour on Arches paper
I wasn't pleased with it when I first finished. But it was selected by Sktchy to feature on their app. Actually it wasn't so bad. Don't think anyone noticed the 'wrong' ears.

Sketched from photo reference as she just won't sit still! Meant to be a pencil base for watercolour wash, but never got around to completing it.

Watercolour on Khadi paper
Trying out khadi paper. I found it too rough for my liking and hard to work details. But then actually the (unintentional) dry brush effects on the hair turned out quite well.
