Travis cut and gave Paige a magnolia flower yesterday and she sent several photos to share with me. After looking over them several times, I considered drawing one but was a bit hesitant. One of those times I look at something and find it intimidating like the center portion of the flower. Plus I'm not crazy working with white flowers.
Giving more thought on it, I decided to make it a personal challenge BECAUSE I felt intimidated and glad I did. I was able to work through the most challenging part of it by starting the center first. I figured if it went all wrong, I didn't spend a lot of time on the entire flower only to be dissatisfied.
Here is the ending results. Paige didn't know I was going to draw from the photos she sent but had hoped I might. I had Travis critique my work close to it being finished. Once he OK'd how things were going, I proceeded to finish and then send to Paige via text.
