To help Madison and I get back into our sketching, we set a challenge for this month using one of our favorite Switch games as incentive.
The challenge was to sketch one of our favorite babies; a mon that to us was unique in shape and detail; and a landscape scene that grabbed our attention while playing.
Madison's Results:
As I watched a bud open over several hours, I worked these sketches to show the progression from bud to open flower.
Sketched on Ipad using Procreate.
It's been awhile since I've done anything in the art department. It's been a busy summer and now that things are starting to settle, I've been trying to get back into my sketching.
Vinca has returned growing wild in our back yard so I cut a stem and chose to work this sketch on my Ipad.
This first is the original sketch rendering exactly what I saw with colors, etc. (or as close as I could come) and then the second is playing with colors adding blue and yellow on individual layers and using the color blending mode.
Techniques used were dropping color into selected areas (the flowers) and then adding shadows and highlights on separate layers. Also used brushing in color (Gouache brush tool) for the leaves for a different texture or look.
