The Lovers wip and final

I made neat pencil lineart for the couple, I hoped to colour them digitally, and like the previous image- to place them in a black and white photograph. Little did I realise, it was starting to look too painfully obvious. So I redrew the image I wanted to use.

Referenced from 'Stones of Empire' 

While drawing this I left out many decorative parts, I kept the area empty, and left all decorations out. I wanted to use some images from 'Mughal Decoration' to texture over the staircase and wall.

 

Using the same Mughal Fence, I shaped and warped several copies of the same image, overlapping them to create a continuous fence. I avoided adding colour to these in case there was an oddity. I also used a wallpaper image from the same book.
