| | | Common Darter. Pen and Ink wash.
Thanks to Roger for his permission to use his photographs.
Have done Ink 'n' colour wash this time on A4  ....used my own scanner.
Have done no background wash as I think it is not required, would be interesting to hear other opinions on that!!!
Thanks and all the best.

These Dragons are richly gorgeous, we do not see many pen and ink drawings
which is a shame it is a splendid medium well done with these two
May I use them on my desktop for a while please?

Well Martin seeing as it's one of my photographs I'm going to keep quiet for the time being if you see what I mean as I don't want to influence anyone with any comment I make. I will pass judgment on it when others have had time to comment.

Roger | It is good that you are keeping watch Roger as you are the one who has seen them, I only have your photo and I have to use a reasonable amount of "Artist licence" that is why I will wait for your answer.
Me...I am chuffed with it.
Regards Roger.
