Summer, 

summer,                              summertime!


Hello lords and ladies!

It's that time again! A new creation.. this time my theme is Start of summer 
So here's what i did step by step:

STEP ONE:
I did some online searching to look at the things that people thought of when they heard the word summer, cue plenty of ice creams, deckchairs, sunglasses etc. I played about with several ideas but everntually one popped into my head: GERBERAS. I absolutely love gerberas they're my favourite flowers. 
So i drew some pencil sketches and decided on the arrangement of two gerberas in my piece.

STEP TWO:
I decided to add some writing onto the piece and drew out a tattooesque type font in pencil.











STEP THREE:
It looked a bit plain, so i added some fluid lines in pencil which i could add color to later on. I then proceeded to draw over all pencil lines with a permanent pen.


STEP FOUR: 
I use the Kuretake zig scroll and brush pens and try out the brush nib to flick out colour from the edges of the petals.
Colours used are: 
-Wheat
-pure orange
-Pure pink
-Salmon
-Summer sun.


STEP FIVE:
I used my Kuretake zig scroll and brush pens again to color the writing in, again using the brush nib. 
Colours used:
-Pure Green
-Spring Green.









STEP SIX:
I used the Scroll and brush pen in shade Pure Black with the brush nib to shade in some details and add some depth.
STEP SEVEN: 
I used the Clean color brushes in a sweeping motion to add some nice fluid patternation to the background of my picture. I used really summery colours for this:
-Yellow.
-Carmine Red
-Orange
-Light Pink
-Light Carmine
-Bright Yellow.








TA DAAAAA!!
