I made a personalized birthday card for a friend’s mom.
My friend requested that it feature a butterfly, caterpillar, leaves, and tree bark (which apparently had some symbolism with her mother). It took about 4 hours from start to finish. I started out the design by testing various colors of Prismacolor markers and Prismacolor pencils on a separate piece of heavy Bristol paper.
Initial color tests. Graphite pencil sketch.
