Copy of illumination from Girolamo dai Libri work in progress 2


In my previous post I shared the preparatory drawing for this copy with the reconstruction of the lost portion of the letter d and the decoration.
As you can see at this stage is lacking of ligths and darks and some details.
Below the various stages 

In un mio precedente post avevo condiviso il disegno preparatorio per questa copia con la ricostruzione della parte persa della lettera d e di tutta la decorazione esterna. 
Come potete vedere in questa fase mancano luci ombre, e alcuni dettagli.
Qui sotto le varie fasi di lavorazione.
