I felt that a splash of color was necessary today. In fact, I think I need to start being more colorful in general. I’ve been feeling kind of glum lately with the semester wrapping up and all kinds of assignments due soon. This is just a small practice drawing I made of some silk flowers at my grandparent’s house. I was experimenting with this pink/orange combo, which I have never used before, but was always curious about. I almost chickened out and made the background blue, but I decided not to and I’m glad that I went with my instinct instead. I used to do all kinds of drawings in colored pencil when I was a kid and I stopped a few years ago, but I think I am going to start up again.
