Pen-and-Ink Watercolor Illustration Prompts

Image

Use ink lines, a smooth hot-pressed-paper look and restrained watercolor washes for four separate subjects. The source specifies burgundy, pale violet, steel blue and slate blue respectively, retaining a 4:3 parameter in each prompt. The examples are four raster images, not documentation of a physical drawing process, a complete book or editable line-art files.
