Combining My Photography and Lettering

I took this photo last fall at Wasaga Beach.  I loved the simplicity of the single piece of grass with the lake in the background and I was experimenting with depth of field.

Yesterday, while playing around with my pens I decided to print a copy and do some lettering right on the photograph so that I could use my own hand lettering to add a message instead of adding text in Photoshop.  I was pleasantly surprised by how well the pens work on the photo paper.

The black was done with a Copic Multiliner.  I used a Sakura Gelly Roll for the highlights, and finally put in some shading with a grey Copic Ciao.
