Draw it better #12 contest entry Sunflower theme: Ballpen Art
Let's draw some sunflowers🌻
Presenting my entry to the contest! Here's a Sunflower drawing I made with colored ballpens.
Sometimes not having enough art materials leaves you no choice but to get creative!
A scan of my Sunflower drawing
Sunflowers are beautiful, and they're yellow, my favorite color!
🌻 Sunflowers turn toward the direction of the sun
🌻 Their yellow petals look like the suns rays
🌻 They will always be bright and cheery ready for sad days
I used to plant sunflowers before as a hobby when I was 10. I love how I see them grow and bloom. ☝️♥️🌻
Materials:
🖊️Any kind of paper
🖊️Titus colored ballpens
Yellow
Orange
Brown
Red
Green
Black
Purple
The Process 👩🎨
The proces is simply using crosshatching and scribbles. I didn't sketch the flower anymore, I drew the ballpen directly onto the paper.
Just be careful not to make mistakes and use a scratch paper to wipe the pooling ink of the pens tip to avoid blotching on your art.
yellow and orange for petals and green for the leaves
At this point I did not know how to draw such detail so I used line art - Here its as if I'm using the ballpen to slice out a petal from the paper. Then it is done! 📸 This is my favorite shot 🤗THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY🤗 🏆For ongoing contest and inspiration: please visit the following🏆 ✨Please vote for your witnesses😱 That's all folks!
brown for the pollen
scribble to form texture of the pollen
doing the second flower
I use purple to darken spaces in between and in darker areas black, this will give depth and shadow
I think it somehow looks realistic. Working with ballpens can be tricky. That must be the reason why I failed to make it hyper realistic. But nonetheless I am happy with the outcome. 🌻THANK YOU FOR READING AND PLEASE ENJOY THE ART ♥️
I hope you enjoyed and learned! Feel free to comment, critique and request!
