Scattering seeds
Today, I've been drawing the final illustrations for my short story 'The Girl who Sings to Snails'. This is an illustration of a dandelion, that the main character Lucy picks from her garden.

I used drawing ink with a dip pen to draw the illustrations, and added colour using watercolours. Finally white lines and highlights were added using a white pen.

'Lucy walked over to the patch of dandelions and picked the largest silver one she could find, as she twirled around in a circle scattering the seeds she began to sing a little song to herself.'

What talent! Great color usage. So simple yet speaks volumes!
Thank you, it fits in with the story I'm writing.
Wow really cool. I don't like them growing all over my lawn though lol.
