The Second Coming - Bottom Margin minus the green  

Posted by MeganH in

I've done a lot of work since the last scan - almost finished the bottom margin :-)

I still have to

  • highlight the green bits with forest (dark) green and yellow,
  • paint the 'cone' of the flower on the rightmost side in shades of purple - I'm saving that up
  • outline the whole lot in a very fine black line
I'm undecided whether I will wait until I can buy a 0.1 sized pigment marker pen and cheat in doing the outlining, or do it with atiny brush and paint, which is how you are supposed to do it, but takes a lot longer.
Using the brush is true to the historical process and will also increase my skill at making fine lines, whilst driving me mad as I do accidental little wiggles and have to fix them up and re-touch the other colours.

Then I can start on the "T" with the swirls on the inside, that runs down the side of the poem.

Every time I look at your work I am stunned by the intricacy

Beautiful Work!
Might I suggest trying a crow quill. I've had very good luck at really fine line work and it's not hard to use.
Just my humble two cents.
