This is not meant to be a lesson, I'm just showing a work in progress =) 
This is an ACEO (2.5"x3.5" artwork).  ACEO stands for Art Cards, Editions & Originals.  ACEOs are miniature works of art that are enjoyed by art collectors around the world.  

Pic 1: A simple sketch of 3 balloons.

Pic 2: Starting to work on the main balloon

Pic 3: Added a little birdy on top of the center balloon & started working on the others

Pic 4: Added some sky and other balloons in the background.

Pic 7: I cut off the excess paper & scanned the drawing with a dime for size reference.  Finished size: 2.5"x3.5".  (ACEO Size). This artwork will be given away for free, as part of the Art 2 Art "Treasure Hunt" at a UK show in Dulwich Park, London.
