Illustration Friday - Perennial

Now, I know I shouldn't do this but I was having so much fun that I have decided to do another posting for this word of the week. It's a new type of doodling called "Plasticine Doodling" and as I started with a flower, with no intent on the outcome and gorgeous floral image happened in front of my eyes. So far as I know a rose, which is at the centre point is perennial and represents love which in best case scenario lasts forever, though some last for 2 years max. Daisies in the eyes came back year after year and the ferns and flowers in the rest of the doodle are also perennial, because I say so.

Here she is, my gorgeous little owl made of flowers in Plasticine!


Have a great rest of the week! IFers!

Illustration Friday - Perennial

Here is my illustration done using pencil, paper, goauche paint used thinly like watercolour and a bit of colour aquarelle pencils and toward the end a bit of photoshopping. Enjoy! Scroll all the way down to see the final product! I call the glass chicken the Herb Guardian (get it).
Hello, so happy to have you join me on my latest "Ink Journey". Having read this weeks word, I decided to do a painting of my herb boxes which I had on the windowsill. Some of the herbs were not perennial but I felt that this was a good opportunity to explore and gain better insight into the perspective of pictures. Through this type of practice, I can gain better ideas about how it works and start to use it more in my work. I would like to show the progression of my work and the final piece!
Here it is!

From sketch to drawing.
