EDM # 123 draw a bell

2008/01/14 Perhaps a little over the top for an EDM : ) but I have this lovely bell so I wanted to have some fun with it. This took me two days, as the image is stippled then painted. Sooo I've still been meeting my goal by drawing daily. : ) This is 15"x20" on Canson 140lb cold press. Micron marker 02, water colours, liquid acrylic. Too large for the scanner so this is a photo. Colour is not as intense and image not as sharp, otherwise close. BUT...something is bothering me about it!Below I have reworked the image to round out the bell, add highlights. This seems to be the fix I was looking for! Thanks members of EDM for your aid!
