Adding Colour

All my previous drawings have been strickly black and white. There was no reason for this other than it looking bold simple. However, most wallpapers have colour and those that don’t look bland when they cover an entire wall or room. I decided to add colour to one of my drawings of roses but I chose to go with its original colours instead of making it abstract.

My drawing looks a lot more effective with colour than without. The colour stops the pattern looking basic and like a colouring book outline. It also looks much more like a wallpaper when the pattern is lengthened. I will adding colour to my future drawings and patterns as I think it is an improved development in my practice.
