In the background i have used a tea bag to stain the sheet, this technique i found when working on my sketchbook for my freedom project last year, this technique i thought really suited the peices i chose to recreate as it's an old but rugged look which I like and find works better with my style of work to any other background. The media i then used to recreate the work by Dan Mumford was shading pencils. I used a 2H to draw a faint outline then went back over them in a 2B to make therm stand out. Then using water colour paints i shaded in the imagery, once finished i thought it wasn't to the highest standard it could be so I then used water coloured pencils, going back over the areas i had missed and adding more detail to my critical studies with darker and lighter shades of the base colours i had used in water colour paints. To then finish off the sheet i then took my 2B shading pencil and went back over some of the areas to redefine or make them stand out more than what they already did.
