Today the prompt in the 'Sketch A Day' app was 'Crop' so I first looked at the other entries to see how other people interpreted the prompt. I do that very often, there is a slight difference in translation possible. The prompts are in English, I am Dutch. Looking at the other entries also helps me find inspiration when that is needed.
Working with water soluble pencils helps me to define my subject by using water to 'awaken' the colours of the first layer and then adding a second layer of colour for depth. The three plants in the foreground are detailed, the others are only suggested.
At that point in my process I decided to add another meaning of 'crop' to my drawing by adding the lines I use when cropping a picture on the computer before I publish my work online.
The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this drawing and - if you are interested in my original artwork - my contact information can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
