Hanakotoba - Ajisai

Description

I did this one this summer, and it took me a whole week @_@ This is the first pic in another series I'm starting, "Hanakotoba". It means flower language in Japanese. I wanted the chinese expression, but dA wouldn't show ideograms :(

So the idea is to draw a different kind of flower for all the languages I can think of ^^ I'll be picking the names I like best :) Ajisai (hydrangea) is for Japanese. I will probably do Belle de Nuit (mirabilis) for French, Lian (water lily) for Chinese, Madreselva (honeysuckle) for Spanish, and Mai (forsythia) for Vietnamese. I'm not sure for English and Italian yet ^^;

The original pic is on 14x20cm Lana watercolour paper. I blame the 0.3 pencil again for detail-craziness.

0.3 Stabilo technic mechanical pencil
0.03 grey Copic multiliner
Winsor&Newton watercolours
LOTS AND LOTS of time XD
