Diva Challenge # 231

Normally I don't find the time to participate in challenges. However, this clean, new office of mine is not exactly inspirational ;-) I just had to sit down and draw something.

Whilst browsing I came across the Diva Challenge and thought: "Why not?" The simple challenge "The Undulating Tangles in C and S minor" was exactly what I needed.


Only after I finished shading with pencil did I feel that a bit of colour would add interest. Bad idea! The yellow and orange Polychromos look dirty. Next time I will erase the shadow first and then colour.
Important is, my office reflects 'creative untidyness' - so much better to work in ;-) The challenge was fun I will make a point to check every Monday to see what new challenge awaits me.

    2. Love your tile, the colors don't look dirty on my computer screen, just subtle enough to make it really pop.

  4. I don't know what you mean about the "bad idea". I love the little pop of color. I understand what you mean about the shading mixing with the color, but I think it adds a little mystery! Glad you chimed in on this challenge and hope to see more of your work in upcoming challenges!

  9. Love it! The colour looks great to me - not too strong, but enough to add contrast and balance. Beautifully done!
