@doug-milne. You’re right, Doug, I haven’t really figured out how to draw these with good form. I’ve done a lot of experimenting but in the end they come out flat looking. Is my paper too dark? In the forest understory they are difficult to see because they don’t have much contrast. Some people call them ghost pipes, and they really are like trying to draw ghosts.
This trio looks looks great on the colored paper! So graphic! Wonderful job! Is there a color that would work to give the stems and buds more form?
