In elaborating on the previous comments about developing arts practice and learning from mistakes and past work…there are these 2 works.
Today I have just completed this Tawny Frogmouth Pen and Ink with Watercolour Illustration – or drawing – the second is probably one of the least successful illustrations/drawings from 21 years ago – a Seal in pen, ink & watercolour pencil….
I must say the seal makes me cringe these days but it does, I hope, clearly show the progression!

You may cringe but there’s a pleasing curve through the composition.
Thanks snail but I am still cringing…lol!
