Digital rendering of a watercolored rose still life, originally drawn by pencil.  It is the result of a new process I developed that pulls together my favorite analog and digital techniques.  I take the image from a pencil drawing to a digital drawing to a watercolor to a digital rendering of the watercolor.

The original drawing from a still life of roses.

The original drawing was scanned, placed into illustrator and redrawn with a Wacom tablet.  The resulting image appears similar to a pen and ink drawing.

The new digitally drawn image can be printed on bristol board, sprayed with fixative and watercolored in as many different iterations as I can imagine.  This is a scan image of one that I then used as a guide for the final digital rendering but it also serves as a finished watercolor print.
