In the photo above, you will see an error I don't usually make. On the right side, in the blue/green area, there is a small area where I started to add a light green. This area will end up fairly dark, so it may not show when I am finished, but just a simple thing as starting without checking you have the right pen can ruin a drawing. I had several of the same size pens in front of me, and just started with the wrong one.
The other drawing I am working on is "#998 Sinningia ' Bright Eyes' ". This drawing is also an ACEO-sized drawing, on Aquabee Super Deluxe Sketch Paper. There are several things to point out in this drawing. First, for my professional-level drawings, I fully draw the subject using a 2H or harder pencil, keeping the lines very light. In this drawing, I used a 2B pencil, changed things, added things, and erasure marks will probably show up on this paper after I am finished. I use a white vinyl eraser because it is the cleanest at removal of pencil lines.
The next thing to point out - I had planned on using FW Yellow Ochre as my base yellow. I usually rely on FW Process yellow for my first layers, but this plant has a warm undertone to it, so I used a warmer yellow. On the left leaves there are three layers: the first is yellow ochre, the second is light green, and the third is process yellow. I really feel that process yellow, a bright color, also ties a drawing together on the same plane. On the right side of the left leaf, there are the two yellows, and I will be adding greens after I fill in all of the areas with process yellow.
