day one/ ten

today’s work. i have a headache so this will be a short blogpost.

i don't like the first one; i didn't use the right colours & that is where the mess started. i do like the second one; possibly because it’s softer and definitely because it’s not overworked like the first one.

i ignored drawing the path in the first few drawings because i felt i did not have the right colours, but i’m starting to like their absence.

something else i’ve noticed: reference pictures are really helping me to start the drawing — i have to learn when to stop looking at them. that is why the first one feels like a mess. 

thanks to flowerville for the lovely reference photographs.

i’ll be back tomorrow.
