Description I wasn't happy with how this drawing was going, I redrew it several times.
Then after I finally got the drawing working I didn't know what to do with the background.
A look in my inspiration folder and I decided to try and do it a bit like the ending titles to the Sherlock Holmes movie.
The paper in this moleskine is rubbish (It was a cheap fake moley) and dosen't take kindly to any art materials, but surprisingly it took the watercolour really nicely and so I like the end effect.
The white pen I used to try and put bcak some definition and highlights on the hair was too thick and didn't cover well enough which lets the image down a bit.

I think it has all worked really well, it is a shame about the white pen being too thick but it is a wonderful drawing and background.
