Challenge 35, tile in a tile

This week's guest challenger is Margaret Bremner, who challenged us to create a tile within a tile.

My first attempt didn't get beyond an underpainting. I was trying to use my tombows to create a watercolor background, but I just couldn't get into the finished background for tangling. So I grabbed a 3.5 square instead. (Not an official tile, just a square on bristol smooth that is the 3.5" size).

This one went much better. :)



This was drawn in black, three different browns, grey and sepia, using the micron pens and the triplus fineliners, then shaded with pencil

  7. That is such a good idea, love the way the smaller tiles fan out underneath the centre to give another border
