Day 22: woolly rock jasmine



Day 23: flowering dogwood



Was watching the big painting challenge while doing the dogwood and they had rules on drawing flowers and well i break all of them again lol

on the other hand someone messaged me on facebook asking if the flame lily drawing was for sale. which was a nice surprise

 

I have two days left!!!!!!!! honestly i cant wait till im not drawing every day but will still be doing one once a week

day 24: wisteria amethyst falls



Day 25: Allium 'modern art'




day 26: agapanthus and a bee



just notices they are all purple, better do a non purple one tomorrow lol

 

I suppose you would have found though by drawing one a day your technique has quickly improved. I've found that with my digital work.

 

I think your sketch is lovely Jane! Last summer I decided to pick up the pencils again after not drawing since school. I love drawing flowers too Dips! I only got around to doing these three
though: echinacea, crocosmia and clematis (and am obviously very rusty!). However, a friend who came to stay last July did this one of our house and garden:

 

Actually Jane no, i have never found that practice makes perfect works with me. Im a bit of the opposite the more i do something the more i make mistakes and it becomes worse.

I hadnt drawn for four years and was never ever good at flowers. Seems that four year break did me good though lol i think the drawings have been up and down but mainly based on my mood and if i was trying to make it look good. If i try and want it to look good it comes out bad if i dont care and dont try it turns out good.

Think im just a bit flukey like that

@Lorea i love your flowers they are really delicate and pretty. What medium did you use?

 

@Dips Just some bog standard artists pencils I bought in a set on Amazon.

 

So the drawing challenge is over i loved it but i'm glad i wont be drawing every day from now on. Think i may do it again next year and give drawing people i go. Could be disastrous.

Here is day 27: it looks more like an orchid rather than an everlasting pea but hey ho



and here is day 28: i did two, daffodil 'itzim' and British bluebell

 

I dabble occasionally in watercolours....

 

Ooooh rose bay that is lovely it has a lot of movement in it which is nice

 

Back on the drawing wagon after a break and I have set up new social media for all my drawing adventures with this course and to build up a following before i start selling any artwork

here is todays its Dicentra spectabilis - 'Bleeding Hearts



I cant take all the credit i did have some help



but yeh if you want to follow me as i wont post every drawing on here I don't want to annoy you guys feel free

Great stuff. Have you thought about branching out and drawing insects too? Would love to see a bumble bee or dragonfly would work well with your techniques.

 

Yeh im going to be drawing other stuff too. Im getting very bored of just plants already so watch this space.

Im drawing a floor plan today for a mate who is opening a shop he needs help with layout so going to be dusting off the drawing board, scale ruler and set square and getting some plans mocked up for him
