This is one that I drew a couple of month ago.The original picture was of a pink and red rose. All the different shades of pink, red, and shadows resulted in a rose with much more pencil in it than the first rose I did (see red rose here). Drawing it required a lot of thinking regarding how to represent all the different shades of pink, rose, light and shadows. With this rose I was also able to practice how to do the petal textures, which were not in the photo of the red rose I drew previously. This was really interesting to do.
beautiful shading here. Tremendous amount of skill
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Ramona! Your drawings always inspire me to keep at it. I remembered the other rose you posted- these are both beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind comment on my new blog. It's nice just to relax back into it.
Very nice Ramona. I hope it is happy business that will be keeping you away for a while. Take care.
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Value sketches are really hard and doing a rose is such a challenge.
ReplyDeleteRoses are very challenging to draw and this drawing is beautifully done! It really shows how the light is falling on the rose and creating those subtle shadows. You are making me miss drawing in graphite! This is a great drawing!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. You've got the shading and texture down pat.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good otnal drawing - well done!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! =) I just gave a bunch of roses to my wife for her graduation. She loves them!
ReplyDeleteOh, very lovely. Beautiful work on the shadows.
ReplyDeleteVery, very good! I love how you've gone with the contours of pedals to add the tone and texture. It has so much depth; wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect! Just beautifully done! Love the feel of it.
