To background or not to background? That is the question.
This is my most recent page. I do like this one quite a lot. I seem to have difficulty leaving backgrounds white. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. But there's no going back, regardless, right?
Here's a side-by-side of before and after (I think both are really pretty):
Here's another recent one. I don't like the final page, I should have chosen a different colour for the centre I think.
And, lastly, I posted this one in January I think, and it is one of my favourites. A while later I decided to do the background in blue and was horrified at the damage done, so I left it half completed. Last week I went back and finished it and then went over the whole background a second time in an attempt to smooth it out. So, I used a lot of ink, damaged the nib, wasted time and probably ruined the picture. It's interesting to me that I don't seem to be able to leave well enough alone. Thankfully I have the photos, although this 'before' seems a little unfocused.
