I began this drawing by quickly laying on a loose multi-coloured wash that ran from top left to bottom right to emphasise her leaning posture and to suggest some light and shadow. Next the dark blue at top left to carefully cut out her left shoulder and hair. Once the washes were dry(ish) I added a few carefully placed ‘edges’ using three different coloured pencils. The red hair tie was the final touch that seemed to make the picture really sing.
