daisies! 🌼🧚🏻‍♀️✨🤍

As the air becomes crisper, I find myself gravitating towards more autumnal and/or deeper color palettes.

I thought sharing these kiiiind of pastel spring flowers would be a nice way to say farewell to warmer months🙂‍↕️

Swipe to see another daisy themed sketchbook spread I made this Spring (and a tiny bit of the creative process)
I've shared a work in progress pictures of this one, but forgot to share the finished thing. 

I've been sketching some ginkgo leaves, rose hips and sunflowers this week, so autumn is already showing up in my sketchbook! 👀🌻🌾 

Who's ready for autumn?! I for sure am! 🫡

✏️ MATERIALS:

• sketchbook: Royal talens art creation, 

• markers: W&N Promarkers, Arteza, Copic Ciao,

• white paint: W&N Designers Gouache,

• colored pencils: Faber Castell Polychromos.

🍓🫐✨ (materials listed at the end of the caption, as always)

I'll neverrrrrr get bored of drawing colorful berries! 😤
I made these drawings a while ago.

It was kind of a little side project - I'd just draw a berry here and there in-between working on other illustrations. I've been sharing process pictures on stories and only today I've realized I've never actually shown a finished thing, so here it is!! 👀✨

These little illustrations are so fun to make! I get lost in the process of using all the colors and not thinking much about the composition, originality and basically anything.

They're the perfect example of drawing just to experience the joy of the creating! I might use them at some point tho (sticker sheet, anyone??)👀

ANYWAY! I hope you like these colorful illustrations as much as I do!😤🌈💕✨

✏️ MATERIALS:

• sketchbook: Royal talens art creation, 
• markers: W&N Promarkers, Arteza, Copic Ciao,
• white paint: W&N Designers Gouache,
• colored pencils: Faber Castell Polychromos.
