Tony the Umbrella
I just finished this pen and ink/watercolor painting today.
Quick sketch.
Smooth out the lines by layering the drawing with layers of light pencil.
Close up of how sharp I sharpen my mechanical pencil.
Inking using a waterproof Copic pen 0.03.
Time to paint. Start out light and gentle.
Check out 'Bus Stop' by the Hollies (1966)!
"Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella" -The Hollies
It's finished!
