Your timing on this is brilliant. If it hadn't come on the heels of Shannon's ribbon, I think this would have been summarily DQ'd. Now, my guess is that they're sweating over it, assuming someone "reported" you. Regardless, it looks great.
Ooh, very artistic. I love the combination of b/w and color, and the conceit of the drawing. If I were to be a purist about things, I'd wonder about the shadows from the flower, which seem puzzling to me, maybe from different light sources? I'd also think that the stem would be in color, too.I like the ambiguity of whether it's the sketch coming to life, or the pencil draining color from the flower.
