Yesterday's effort is a scene. The sketch was done in pen. To build on that, the completed work was finished with pencil and colored pencils.
My intention was to achieve a sense of perspective and depth. If the dress had been a light blue for example, the figure would have 'popped' better due to color contrast. As it is, the wall in the background is quite prominent and somewhat diminishes her presence or her as the subject of the scene.
If I were to do this image again, I'd use watercolor instead of the colored pencils because there I think I would have been able to achieve a greater variety of lights and darks versus this one.
Such an interesting and lovely post
