It does enhance the image - I often return to something later and tweak or change. I think when time has elapsed you look more objectively and have the confidence to alter something. Yet it was still beautiful the first time.

Thank you Marjorie.

A fantastic drawing.

Beautifully done and the background works a treat

Really well done John.

A great drawing and the background works well!

So beautiful, background does show up the lines and beauty of this shell.

Well done John, well drawn

A real belter John. The background has really enhanced an already excellent piece of art.

Thank you all for the encouragement - I will try more colour with pen and inks.

I drew and posted this pen and ink with minimal colour last year. This time I added a background to enhance the image.
