A spring artwork
My new illustration of a Spring day in Little Mo’s garden. I’ve had this drawing for some time in my sketch book…but never got around to colouring it.
When I start a sketch on the drawing board, I like to ink in alot of details and don’t really think about the colouring process. It’s only after I’ve finished inking then I realise all the details that I have to colour in…and it makes me go a little berserk sometimes! Wouldn’t you feel the same if you see this sketch above?
But I usually calm down once I apply the first colours. I usually colour the leaves first. Because it helps me decide the overall colour for the artwork. So this is my new spring illustration, and everything is fresh and green.
Available in print and a greeting card set in my shop.
Happy Spring day everyone!
