Latest drawing…

 Just popping in for a quick update - here is my latest drawing. Quite unplanned, I went into the study last night to print a recipe I had found online ( chocolate chip cookie dough bites, found via Frankie magazine website- will let you know what they are like if I make them next weekend!). I saw my markers on the desk & thought “ I must pack this up before work tomorrow, but maybe I’ll just check though some photos on the iPad for ideas…”.

And so I sketched this …and then I coloured it in!

Huge shoutout and thanks you to Vireya who takes such superb photos of her amazing garden, and posts them on her blog. I took some screen shots recently and used this one as inspiration, a  dahlia from a post on April 15. And there are plenty more flowers there I plan on trying!

I don’t have a lot of yellow shades, but I am very happy with the leaves! I sketched the flower very lightly on the paper then rubbed most of it out til I could only just see the outlines, but did the leaves freehand with the markers. I only have 60 something markers, and unfortunately the starter kit I bought had a lot of grey ones, so I have had to add in some extra colours here & there. Hmmm, maybe I should try to recreate a black and white picture & use all the grey markers!
