This is pretty rough and needs some help, but I was kinda proud of the way the veining turned out using a Fineline Resist Pen. I got the shadows but could have built them up some more. Then there is the misspelling. I wrote Raliegh instead of Raleigh. I was able to erase the lettering with a Mr. Clean Magic eraser. But then I wrote over it, thinking it was completely dry and the lettering feathered. I erased it again, sort of, but by then the paper was breaking down and it left a shadow. I learned some valuable lessons with this page! I have 120 pages in this book. Hopefully, by the time I reach the end, my watercolor skills will be noticeably better!
