One Flower and One Bee

The flower illustrations continue. There were some great berries I really wanted to draw, but the sun would have been in my eyes the entire time. On a whim, I decided to walk to the nearest flower I could find. I'm lucky I did, because I found this really cool pink flower (I have no idea what I'm looking at). Even better, a big, black bumblebee landed on my subject in the middle of the drawing.

I have been working at the same place for 6 years now. I can't believe I am just now discovering all of the fantastic nature around the building.

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!

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.
