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.

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.
