My Little Cup Cake
BEAUTIFUL ASIA SERIES
Pen and Ink on Watercolour Paper
This started off as a Flower Sketch from my local Winter Gardens. I had an idea to incorporate fairies into the drawing but it ended up with an Oriental theme.
The Butterflies were most definately inspired by the works of

This is just a delight – you have excelled yourself with this one – have instantly added it to my favourites. I truly love the oriental theme (especially as my daughter-in-law is Japanese, and my grand-daughter is half Japanese). I will show this to her, I’m sure she will love it too xxx

So this is the Oriental piece you were tlaking about…this is quite lovely. Those kimonos are glorious little pieces, such detail…and very comfy.
Love those flowers…and the cup cake is yummy looking…the look on the little girls face, you can tell she wants to gobble it up.
AnitaInverarity replied
Thank you Lynette- I was glad to get this one finished- especially as I was working it out as I went along, which can be a bit stressy :)))))))))) Glad you like it xxxxxx

Gorgeous work – you must do so much planning with you artwork, Anita – it really is incredible!!
AnitaInverarity replied
I usually have a vague plan in my head, but it never turns out that way lol. This one really did just evolve- The flowers were first from a life drawing session and then the figures were going to be fairies, I’m really still not sure how I got to this conclusion lol xx
Margaret Harris

BellaBok
Just Awesome!
I am starting to dabble in the pen and ink phase too, but am not nearly there! I am more of a pencil and paint person at the moment. Hoping ( and Praying)
;-) to get to your standard one day by just practicing a bit. I am inspired by your artwork. Lots of detail and a story behind the art! Stunning
How do you get the grey (lighter) areas, do you use the ink in a different way or do you just water it down or just use a grey ink?
AnitaInverarity replied
Hi- Thank you for your very lovely comment. I’m the opposite in that I want to improve my painting skills (its been a long time since I used a brush). Everything here is drawn with fine liner pens (0.1 to 0.7). The greyer areas are using the finer pen just building up fine dots and lines.
Hope you enjoy inking, its soooo addictive I find xxx
Exultation
you have a unique and beautiful style of illustration… i reminds me of illustrations in children’s books… the detail and penmanship is superb.
AnitaInverarity replied
Thank you so much :)))) I can tell you have amazing talent from the first few works you have posted, your compliment means a lot xoxox
izzybeth
really. she is soooooo cute.
AnitaInverarity replied
Oh hee hee :)))) Thanks again sweetie pie xoxox
