Daily Drawing 91: Fiddle leaf fig

Another plant I’d never heard of. I originally planned to do this cartoon-style, to hopefully get it done quick. But a few of the leaves looks weirdly realistic, despite the sketch being done entirely with colored pencils. Also, the reference pot was black, but I went with purple just because.

Daily Drawing 88: Yucca plant

I cheated a bit after yesterday’s debacle, using Procreate’s line-straightening tool on the pot.

This tuned out a lot better than the other plants. Maybe going back to the old 6B pencil for coloring made me more comfortable or something. Also, Yuccas don’t have freaky/complicated patterns on their leaves.

Daily Drawing No. 85: Snake plant

The next month is going to be all plants, starting with a week of potted plants.

Here’s a snake plant that I did in a loose, sloppy style because that covers up for pretty much anything I want it to! Getting the texture on the leaves is going to be a challenge for all of these prompts because I don’t have any go-to brushes to get the effects I want, so I have to experiment–which is good, but also time-intensive. Weep for the amateur artist.
