For Christmas, my mum would like a framed drawing of one of the pretty illustrations on vintage 1950s Quality Street tin box lids.
I chose alcohol markers which I got in the December Sketchbox package.

I made a simpler version of “two cranes on a pine tree” which I drew for a friend last year.
I used black, grey and ink brush pens, drew on a watercolour postcard, and painted a gold outline with a thin brush and liquid gold ink.
I made another ink drawing of a crane after some Chinese brushwork piece by artist Nanrae.
On a taupe toned paper I used a black ink brush pen, my Kuretake Light Grey and Geranium Red BrushWriters, and applied gold paint with a brush.
Finally, I went back to the piece afterwards to paint the body of the crane with a white ink Kuretake brushpen.
I gave the framed piece to Shadi.
