Growing a photo

I worked on something similar a few months ago. I really like the idea of growing a photograph and wanted to try it again.

Here I zoomed into the centre of one of my photos and cropped.  Ive now stuck it into my sketchbook and I'm drawing the rest in.

This time I'm using a black and white print and drawing in colour. The opposite to what I did last time, variety is the spice of life and all!

It's coming along really well and I'm enjoying drawing it. Im thinking of what could be produced if I didn't stick to what was really there. Mixing up some of the drawings and photos. The centre of one flower and the outer of another? It's something to look at next time.
