Today I had nothing else to do, so for once I actually set down and focused completely on my art. I think this is the first traditional art I've done in a loooong time... (Just checked: it's been over one and a half years since I submitted a fully traditional drawing...o___O;) lolz. I can't use my tablet right now (no PC of my own) and I really wanted to draw, so I started thinking, sketching, inking (that rhymes lol), colouring - and this is the result:3

I think I've become obsessed with drawing roses lately lol...xD (I'm working on another digital artwork, which also includes a rose...=3) I'm really happy with how this came out, especially the shading on the rose (It looks a lot better IRL though...OTL) I hope you like this, too!^_^

Done in: Indian ink + pen, watercolour pencils
Time taken: about 5 hours
References: none^^
Dedicated to: sparklingwave (please accept this as a very late birthday present! I feel awful about not having made you anything earlier, or even congratulating you on your actual birthday...)

Enjoy!^^
