Shell in pen and Inktense pencils. 4 x 6. 2015 Sheila Delgado
This is my third attempt at fulfilling my INKed promise. I signed up for their postcard exchange, before I read the rules. I feel like I am cheating, or at least not being true to the idea of the exchange. Which is more about drawing, and as the name suggests, drawing in Ink. And if you asked me, I would say I am not good at drawing.
But I am facing the challenge.

Working on some postcards. Trying to keep them simple and quick. Had fun with these. More on the way.

When scanned, the background shows as a lovely violet. Pretty, but not true to life. I am in love with this color right now. And yellow. And flowers. I woke up with the idea of an intense background, set off with bright yellow buds.
I suppose I should have added some leaves, they are as pretty as the flowers. Well, next time.
