"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 28

 and it is finished........

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 27

 almost, but not quite......

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 26

 slowly filling in the ground, a bit more erratically than initially intending, but it is what it is...

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 25

 really wanted to go further today, but did not want to push my good stippling too far, so really getting into the fore of the foreground, and have turned to a slightly larger nib –

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 24

 moving along in detailing the foreground, including grasses by the slab rocks...

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 23

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 22

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 21

 now to work on the foreground…

 

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 20

 now to do the receding range… then the shadowing on the slab rock… then the gravel of the foreground…

 

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 19

 another couple bloops, but fixed, and more of the rocks done - will put in the shadows when the rest of rocks, including the distant range, are done... then all that will be left is the foreground and final detailing here and there -

 

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 18

 the rocks are transferred, but kept the distant range in pencil as need to use a fine nib for those distant rocks...

 

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 17

 finished the bushes on the left, and the mid background trees... now working on the rocks on the right...

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 16

 penciled in the mid ground and started inking, and detailing the leftside bushes -

 

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 15

 almost got all the inking of the left side down, except the bush shadings - so will finish the obviously not done part, and can tomorrow begin penciling in the 'dragon trees', maybe even begin inking them, and also the leaves shadings so to make it more realistic..

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 14

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 13

 thought I could get the rest of the background trees and closer leaves done by this eve, but feared a bloop if kept pushing it - so hope to get the rest of it done tomorrow so can get on with the middle ares trees...

 

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 12

 moving along, almost finished with the left side, just the rest of the distant trees yet to do, then can get on with the middle area -

 

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 11

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 10

getting most of the leaves on the background trees done, just the right end yet to do, and the trunks as well -

 

"The Lady with the Drag-on" - 9

"Serenity in Blue" - 2

almost got it in one swoop, but had to call a halt, as the hand control was faltering... still, seems to be coming along ok... actually better, as originally wanted the feathering to be very smooth, and am finding this more 'real'...
