Thanks Maureen. I started with watercolor, and then used both watercolor and colored pencil. -
Pam commented on Pam's Photo 3 years, 7 months ago
Doug, it does kind of look like a birds nest, doesn’t it? That wasn’t my intention, but I like that it turned out that way 🙂 -

So precious and pleasing to the eye ! Are you capturing those fine lines with watercolor or pencil?

Doug Milne commented on Ishbel Galloway's Photo 3 years, 7 months ago
Great job Ishbel! Love the colors and your lettering too! This is a tricky view to do and you are mostly there, but I find the toning confusing. The right side looks lighter than the left, except the cast shadow is on the right. I think part of the reason is your reflected highlight is too light and needs to be toned down, Also there are a few…[Read more]

Wonderful job Wendy!!!! I really like how a couple of the leaves go off the page!

Beautiful Pam! I love how that one berry is nestled in there. It looks like a bird’s egg in a nest. The details are so well done and the whole atmosphere of the piece is so calming!

I added some toning to better clarify overlaps

One of my favs of yours, yet, and I already have so many favs. 🙂

Thanks so much for all the positive comments on the illustration….now I really, really, really need to work on the lettering that I was afraid spoiled the page.

Thanks Doug. I see what you mean – I’ll work on that a bit.

Lovely, Ishbel. I didn’t try the top down view – next time.

Curling leaves are a challenge, but you’ve got the concept. Almost there! It’s just a matter of careful observation and practice. Remember the 3 lines: the front edge of the leaf, the midrib, and the back edge of the leaf.

Wow that’s dramatic! Feels like a moonlit walk somewhere secret. Love it.

Again, so rich. I love your drawings so much. We need a long piece of paper to capture the length and majesty of these guys. Beautiful crisp. papery folds/curves. 🙂 You captured it so well.

@sam-mcwilliams This was a really fun project, I traipsed through knee deep snow in minus 30 to get the cattail!
-
@vern The little fuzzies would be a good challenge for the next project, very fine paintbrush needed I think!

Hi Cathie, This is a nice looking page! You are including so many elements! I love the warmth and roundness you are getting in the lemons. And the little seeds are great! The one thing that bother me is the ellipse of the cut lemon. Based on its angle, I am seeing too much of the top. That ellipse should be flatter. Or the side view should be shorter.

Katy Lyness commented on Konjit Lawrence's Photo 3 years, 7 months ago
Hi Konjit, this is a good start. I like that you are using the vertical lines to get some texture. I also see that you are understanding the light source coming from the left. What you need to work on now is more control of the toning. With more control you can really get that cylindrical look. Gradually bring the shadow up from the right. Think…[Read more]

This is lovely! The red and green speak to me of this time of year! I also really like the shine you are getting on the leaves. I think the curling leaf seems a bit too bent. That front leaf edge could curve up some, so you’d see less of the the back side of the leaf.

Found this partridgeberry weaving in and out of a clump of mosses. It was a challenge to draw, but it was a lot of fun to try. Some paint splattered on my paper when I was almost done, so I added more splattery looking bits around it, which I ended up kind of liking. 🙂

This is so gorgeous and soft and delicate. I think the splatters are what makes it! Hooray for mistakes turning into creative wins. It is very storybook too – like what is that one red berry going to get up to?
