Mia I don't know how I missed this, your pen work is so good, the formation of the petals is superb and the whole feeling of texture and shape brings it alive, nice one.

Your attention to composition certainly shows, Mia - great use of shapes and spaces, and of course, your signature superb linework!

My garden is full of beautiful hollyhocks and I couldn't resist sketching one of them. I started immediately in ink with my Artpen filled with Quink Ink, no pencil drawing first. I concentrated on the composition on the paper, adding some leaves a bit higher than they were in reality! Size A4. All comments are very welcome, as usual, thank you :) Mia
