Finally finished the poppy. I had a little trouble with the flower, each time I waited for a bud to blossom, the petals almost immediately fell. So I gave up and went and took a photo of a poppy flower near where I got the original buds from.
Thanks so much Doug! It was tricky knowing when to stop drawing, I feel like I could’ve kept going forever, but had to force myself to step away before I added too much more saturation to the petals!

Hi Amanda- I love the composition! You have really captured the texture and paper-like quality of the poppy petals! Beautiful!

I agree with Doug, such a great papery feel 🙂 and great composition – really captured the true feel of this plant
