Amy,

It is a much lovelier and more cohesive picture, that I first thought.

You can try it that way, but the pencils are waxy, and they tend to repel the washes. Airbrushing leaves a beautiful matte surface to work back into with highlights, unlike using washes. Also, You can darken certain areas more easily that pop. Not to criticize I probably would have taken the plant down a couple of notches.

I drew the picture up quite substantially, then used the airbrush. I then later touched it up with more pencil. Take care however with too much waxy build up (sounds like a floor commercial) as it repels the airbrushing. You can hit the darks later.
