Was referring to this question on another members drawing. Your stick here is a good example of both texture and former. Does one take precedent in Botanical Illustration? Sometimes it seems difficult to do both to some extent. I tend to get hung up in details and loose sight of former. But after doing these first lessons, I am getting the idea that forms is more important, although I see a lot of detail used in Botanical work, which I am drawn to.
Hi Patty, yes form is always more important than texture and detail. Once you have created your 3 dimensional illusion, you can add it details and texture!
Thank you, Patty, for asking this question. Everything you’re teaching makes sense to me, Wendy, while I’m listening. And it makes sense while I’m drawing & toning too — and then, like Patty, I get hung up in the detail of the actual object in front of me. I suspect we’ll find the balance of form and detail as we continue to practice. Thank you both! : )

My tablet wants to put former for form. I will have to watch that.
