              My friend has asked for a tulip design for a tote bag so I tested out an idea with crocus drawings i already had which came out like this

              [​IMG]

              and looks brill on products on Redbubble

              so I have started drawing the tulips. I have three done and will do two more and then put them together in photoshop

                    drew a strawberry last night :-)

                    [​IMG]


                    Im trying to plan ahead to the 28 day drawing challenge in feb and i was thinking of maybe doing an A-Z of drawings of fruit and veg. I would be very very grateful if people would help create my list so that I have something for each letter. I would then have two days spare to draw whatever took my fancy too. I think i need to plan it now so i can avoid drawing those fruit and veg before then.

                    A - Apple, apricot, artichoke, aubergine, (already done asparagus), avocado
                    B - banana, beetroot, broccoli
                    C - courgette, (already drawn a carrot) custard apple, clementine with leaves, chilli, coconut, cauliflower, cabbage, celery, cucumber, chinese leaf
                    D - date
                    E - ???
                    F - Fig, fennel
                    G - grape, gooseberry, garlic, ginger
                    H - ???
                    I -????
                    J - Jerusalem artichoke
                    K - kiwi, kale
                    L - lemon, lime, lettuce, lemon grass
                    M - mango, mushroom
                    N -???
                    O - orange, onion
                    P - parsnip, pepper, physalis, passion fruit, pomegranate, pineapple, potato, pear, plum, pumpkin
                    Q - quince
                    R - radish,
                    S - sharon fruit, swede, sprout, squash, spinach
                    T - tomato, turnip
                    U - ???
                    V - ???
                    W -water cress
                    X -???
                    Y -??
                    Z -???

                    i think i may have to go for proper names of types to get it all covered like chioggia beetroot for example.

                    So if anyone could help fill in the gaps i would really appreciate it so that i can put a plan together :-)
