A little look into my sketchbook today to see a few recent florals that I’ve been working on.
Happy Sunday, friends! π
A little practice trying to compose a pleasing floral design.
Some elements are simple while others are more detailed.
In this sketch, I tried to add more variation in the size and shape of the flowers and leaves.
Tucking elements behind one another was like putting together a puzzle. Including a few peekaboo flowers here and there was really good practice. πΈ
I started this sketch building from the center with flowers and working my way out. Then I filled in the white space with vines and leaves to balance things out. I always like having a few vines at the top waving hello.
I really like this one, it makes me happy.Β π
I hope you are inspired to create art and do more of what you love. Thank you for stopping by and following me on this creative journey.
Until next time, share a smile and shine on!
