Mistletoe - a pencil drawing

 


Today's prompt in the Sketch A Day app was Mistletoe and I really wanted to make a bit more than a quick sketch.

Remembering all the references that were given in the app I made a drawing of a branch with some leaves and berries. This was to be the one with most details so I used water to 'awaken' the colours and added a second layer of pencil after the water had dried.

The background branches have only one layer of pencil.

Looking back at the references I see I made a mistake, the berries should not be at the end of the branches.

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.
