Description Another AP work! Booyeah

The story:
My first project of the class, my teacher had us all go out into the garden and draw for a couple weeks. But the catch was we weren't allowed to use pencil first, I had to use a fine tip marker without planning anything out. I was totally intimidated of making mistakes, but after I finished I realized what a huge confidence boost it gave me
The Process:
I did a light wash with watercolours and then drew on top of that when it was dry (lol oops, the paper buckled really badly)
Materials and Time
Watercolours
Fine tip black pens (Faber Castel XS and Sharpie)
30+ hours
Completed September 2011

Be nice! Don't steal please!

This is BOSS. :'D The texture, shading, and detail are all divine. The crispness of the pen work is set off nicely by the pale hints of color provided by the underlying watercolor. I think it's good for an artist to face the fear of messing up by going balls-out with something nigh unfixable like ink, and you did a gorgeous job of it on this! I especially like the large daisiforme (sunflower?) in the foreground of the left side. All of the elements that you have pulled off so well on the whole piece- like texture and shading- came out especially great on that flower.
