Pooh's roughs

I do a lot of colour roughs before my watercolours, I almost prefer them to the final illustration, there's so much life in them. I really enjoy this part when my line and colour can be very loose.

Stef,

We cannot say enough about these, they are so great! I also love to do the roughs more than the finals. These three are beauties! -Arna

Elliot Cowan said...

You've managed to bring much of the same life that exists in the roughs to your finished pieces, which is something I dont' think happens that often.
Lovely.

Great to see the ruffs. Nicely accomplished, even at this stage you have the palette down.
