My Drawing of the Day
Recently I've been slightly obsessing over leaves, stealing them from any tree I found interesting and bringing them home to study. I was inspired by the deep purple and green combination on this one tree (I don't know the name of it) that I kept seeing. Unfortunately when I got home and put the leaf on my light table I realized I had picked an all green one. Nonetheless I started to do little color sketches and line drawings. Just about everything that inspires me evolves into a garment interpretation.
I started this a week or two ago, unfortunately I got busy with work and left it unfinished. Finally, I got tired of looking at a pitiful water color. I thought that I would just finish it with an ink outline but of course it evolved into mixed media, and finally a digital painting. I skipped a few steps in the documentation process, but you get the picture. I'm pretty satisfied with it, hope you enjoy too. Leave comments, questions. Thanks!
