Let the pinking continue…

Lips – a recent EDM challenge. I’ll have to go back and look up which one. I did these -in pink- using just a water brush and pink watercolor – I wanted to see what I could accomplish without pre-drawing, as I usually do. It turned out better than I had hoped for! (Especially [...]
