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.

Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!

Twinbee

Trying some new ways of picking colors for my digital pieces. I was not aware that Illustrator has a tint slider. I feel much more confident sticking to a very limited number of hues with a tint and shade for each. This illustration uses only three: blue, pink, and tan. Twinbee is one of my favorite video games - it perfectly captures the weird concepts and bright colors that find their way into my work. Not sure where this pose came from, but I didn't want it to waste away in my sketchbook.
