Mallow flowers - map

Whew!  Well I FINALLY finished the map process of the mallow flower painting I'm doing.  I have got to find a quicker way of accomplishing this - it took WAAYYY too long considering that it was only the MAP!

Now while I admit that this is a decent drawing (and it should be), there are some tweaks I may still want to do before I start painting.  That being said though, I could definitely get this on some watercolour paper next and start picking my colours.

As far as picking up the pace on this step goes...I'm wondering if I should switch to markers for this step?  I know you can get dark, medium and light black markers (or grey) and that may pick it up for me.  Half of my time was spent trying to fill in the gaps to make more transitional gradients.  And as much as I like this project, I went through a bunch of my photos today and I found a good dozen more paintings I'd like to do.  Since I'd like to see these done in my lifetime, I am soooo going to change my process before I get bored of the projects!
