Daffodils, maybe

They're yellow, have a familiar petal pattern, and they look like daffodils. I think they're daffodils. The interesting thing about knowing next to nothing about flowers and plants is that it prevents me from naming and simplifying these forms.

I changed up my strategy a bit this time - focusing on a single flower and ignoring the surrounding areas. The pen part turned out surprisingly well. I am happy with the colors too (for the most part). I think I would have liked to try using purple rather than green and brown for the shadow areas.

EDIT: Upon showing this drawing to my girlfriend, I was informed that this is probably a daylily.

Inktober Day 3 - "Bait"

Old school pen and ink. I haven't used a crow quill pen since high school - and, even then, I remember struggling to get it to work. This time, I thought I would try to create something using only cross-hatching. The prompt word today is "bait". This word took me into a lot of different ideas, but the one I ultimately landed on is based on the will-o-wisp. In my head, I imagined glowing orbs in front of a copse of swamp trees all created with layers of cross-hatching. Things had to be scaled back a bit. There are still two trees in the background if you look hard enough. Success? Sort of. It forced me to use a different kind of pen and, in doing so, made me want to keep going and get better with it.
