Lilyrequested by @1nonentity - thank you!!
if i may be honest, i’m not entirely happy with this one. i had something way more delicate and soft in mind.
so what went wrong?
i think i was overeager - i wanted to keep drawing so bad that i forgot to study the subject properly or think about what i was doing. which is fine for a sketch but i was really hoping for this to be a proper beautiful ink illustration. i knew exactly how it was supposed to look but i neither stepped back to think about what is needed to accomplish that, nor got lost in it enough to play with the medium.
i also worked too small. i love working small but with the level of detail i wanted to get, it was just impossible, especially with the brush i had.
having slept on it and and seeing it as it is instead of a bad caricature of what i wanted to make, i do like it! its dramatic and dark and moody in a way i did not intend but do appreciate.
i’ll try to draw another lily in the floral arrangement i said i want to do at the end of this little project :)May 24, 2024
