I'm asuming you do the watercolours first and then add black ink on top?

Ermmm it's the other way round! I work in black, then use the colours, and re-black if I need to ... it works for me! Sometimes, with the water added to make the pencils 'run' the ink bleeds a little and gives it a natural 'shadow' that is fun!

I've not done anymore to it, yet ... I'm living with it as it is now, not looking at it, and I'll decide about it when I look at it again in a couple of days time!

Annddd... I agree with a previous commenter.. I realize it's a WIP but I think it is already complete. The play back and forth between the forms and negative vs positive space is perfect as it is.

I'm thinking about your comment and advice. To my thinking the line between the two sides is a tad abrupt, and I may just let some more patterns flow into the blank area...but I'm not sure yet ... or just colour some of the sections and lightly add intricacy and fade to blank gradually ...

I disagree. It's not abrupt as the patterns basically hug into each other, already creeping over the dividing boundary in the center. Another connecting factor is the use of color within the outlining areas on the right. I really feel that any other work on this would be overdoing it as fading additional line work into the right side would lose that startling contrast that makes this so wonderful.. But that's just my opinion.. so listen to it LOL!

I have done some work in this kind of psychedelic style, but none of it compares to the detail in this.
Great piece.

This is amazing, I love this. I know this is a work in progress but I think maybe you should leave it like this rather than fill in all the spaces. This way it'll keep it from getting too busy. Just my two cents.
Again, Bravo, I'm so in love with this.

Well, the artist knows best so do whatever will make you most comfortable, since you are the one who has to see it on your wall every day. Though I do so wish it could be on my wall 
Anyway, I was think as an idea that if you do fill in more space, maybe instead of making it gradual, you could just completely fill in that area down the center (on the x-axis) that leads from the detailed area to the other side of the paper ( It's altogether shaped kind of like a bow tie.) and leave the top and bottom area empty. It looks awesome in my mind.
But again, do whatever you feel is best.
