Description
Yay it's finished.Well this is a scan and edit of the image from my sister's laptop, so I'm not *entirely* sure that all the colours and levels are ok, but I am happy it is done and I can share it with people.
I will edit it for print soon
So this is the biggest image I've *completed* so far.
The original is just smaller than A1. (That's 10 scans on my A4 scanner before stitching it back together)
It was created with alcohol based markers, watercolour ink, coloured pencil and fineliner pigment ink on Bristol Board.
I also chipped half my nails framing it
The flowers are - wisteria, hibiscus, chrysanthemums, orchids and peony.
It was themed that all these flowers could be found naturally in one place (if you know what that country is
)Although colours may differ from their real life counterparts
I hope people enjoy this piece

Your pictures of nature and animals are the ones I adore the most^^ The faces you draw are a bit flat, but the animals and flowers are just perfect!

Thanks. Yeah I need to work a bit more on tone and translating that onto human faces.
I'm glad you like my nature work. It's a recurring theme for me, so I'll be posting more, hopefully soon. I hope you enjoy them too

This is so beautiful! I use markers too, but my colors just won't pop out like yours... Do you have any tips?

Try to have strong contrasts, so strong shadows as well as highlights. If you look at your Sakura picture it's a little washed out, which looks in part be due to it being scanned (I have to fiddle a bit with the levels after I scan my work to try and get the colours back to how they look on paper), but also the colours don't go very dark. Sometimes I have to go over the lines after I've coloured it if I want the lineart to be properly black. Also areas such as the dark green of the background could be a bit darker so that the leaves stand out on top and make the brighter elements in the foreground really pop

Beautiful and great level of detail here. I really love the way that you did the flowers, the light and the way it hits all of the colours as they scatter across the petals!
