Original artwork for Sumo Basho by Helena Costa

Stages in the creation of the artwork

I've chosen a combat scene for the main picture. As you can see, only the strong highlights have been given to the sketch in pencil. This is the way I work, usually with a sketch that grows in detail as I give the different layers of Indian ink and watercolour. I usually don't work in white paper. Helena Costa (Helm)
