Floral Focus – Mini collection

Last week I participated in an art challenge to create a mini collection by Stacie @ leverageyourart ( Gingiber)

It was fun making this illustration and supporting patterns for the challenge.

I love taking picture of flower and I am currently obsessed with the snowdrops and birdeye speedwell flowers. So I added all my favorite elements I to this collection and here is the result.

This collection will be coming to my Spoonflower shop soon. I am thinking about how to make this main illustration into a pattern. Once that is done it will be added.

15 days drawing challenge

I am taking on a challenge to dedicate at least 15 minutes daily to drawing practice on paper, till the end of November. It has been going great, and I am enjoying this. I realized that it is not that hard to make 15 minutes daily for something interesting ☺️. Here are some of the sketches I did for the challenge.

Flower art in different mediums- color pencil and watercolor

I have this idea to draw and paint the same subject in different mediums. So tried this flower art in color pencil and watercolor.

Color pencil drawing in sketch book- pink daisies
Reddish pink water color flowers- painting on paper

They are not the exact same things, but similar. I would like to try a version of this with acrylic paints too.

Which one did you like? Color pencil version or watercolor version? Let me know in the comments below.

Leaves doodle – mechanical pencil drawing on paper

This art is inspired by nature, the leaves my son and I found on the way back from the park.

The middle one is drawn by observing the actual leaves and the other two are some imaginary leaves doodle to go along with it.

I drew this on my sketchbook with a mechanical pencil.
