learning styles


i decided to learn various different styles, in attempt to find mine.. (if there is any...). besides, i think this is fun..!
the first project is to copy this 15th century drawing (top). the source is a book entitled "Illustrierte Geschichte der Weltliteratur" which meaning is left for those who understand German (i don't). i don't know to whom i shall give the credit of the painting for. so, i post the original as well.
i draw this with pen and then watercolored.

It's always fun to try other people's style.
But you do have a sweet lovely style of your own, it's magical! I'll be back to see more of your work!

Sometimes I stay for hours searching for illuminated manuscripts in the internet (and in books) . It´s very important to me also to have contact with other styles of representation

this is a great idea - I would like to try it too. it looks like the original might be a woodcut, but you've done very well with the pen and ink

yes! lets try a new style every week, that'll be fun!
