I saw a postcard with a bag of dolly mixtures on it and thought it would make an interesting and unusual drawing. I decided to use it for the tone and form exercise as i thought doing it in black and white would make it even more unusual as dolly mixtures are so colourful.
I drew it with a dip pen and ink (again!) it took forever, especially the sugar covered ones, but i think the ink gives a nice effect.

To lyzanne, I think this is your best yet, involving detail and texture the overall quality is superb. Keep up the good work
