Hello everyone,
I have just completed my third product. It took my half day but it looked really nice at the end.
I am aware today was our last day to complete the assignment but I had a busy week, I couldn’t spend enough time drawing and I didn’t anticipate that this assignment will be this hard and time consuming. Therefore I am giving one more week to complete two new products. I am sorry for being lazy. I’ll try to make it up.
I picked Digitalis purpurea this time. I accidentally found the picture online and I fell in love with it. Original of the picture was painted by Arthur Harry Church (1865-1937). If I need to describe his work with one word, it is AMAZING! They are so delicate, so accurate and so beautiful. I encourage you check him online to see his great paintings.
My drawing went so well today. Normally I don’t use guidelines that much when I start drawing but this time I did lines, I drew a frame, I did circles to arrange the places of the different parts, I kept my lines really faint and etc. This is an improvement for me because I normally start from one point and build up slowly which was always ending up with a good looking picture but not a totally accurate one.
This time, different than the other two products of this assignment, I didn’t fix the non-matching lines. I pushed myself hard to catch the accuracy as much as possible. I completed the whole picture, colored it and then compared it with the original copy. You can see below how it looked at the end.
When I was done, I colored it with colored pencil again and tadaaaa…
What do you think? Is it looking good?
