I started out this one by toning my paper with a pink watercolor wash. Like last week, I smeared vine charcoal over it to give it a little depth. Then I drew the portrait on top. I debated adding more to this but decided to stop here. It's simple and gave me hope that I can still draw people, even if there is room to improve.
And because I had my watercolors out, I played a little bit more. I was going to draw on top of them but didn't like what I was doing. After taking off my drawing, I am going to leave this until I know what it will become. I may end up using it as a background for something else, or I might cut it up to use in some other manner. It was fun to just lay color down with no purpose.
Linking up with Twinkle, Twinkle.

Lovely drawing! And I love your impromptu watercoloring - delicious colors.
I love them both! Such a wonderful way to use this week's soft SOC colors!
Great idea to do a watercolor wash under the charcoal. Turned out very nice!
Wonderful work!
I love your portrait. It has so much character and fabulous use of the colours from last week. Great work. :)
