Anyway, all of the photos on Facebook of these various festivals is what inspired this 'Sketch-of-the-Day'. It's just a basic pencil drawing on paper, but I added some color to the cherry blossoms in my computer just for fun. I sort of like this monochromatic look. This pencil drawing is far more detailed and realistic than my usual sketches, but I was really enjoying just building the layers of shadows.
What do you think?
Are any of you from a place that has it's own cherry blossom festival? What sorts of activities do they have for you to do? What are some of your favorite spring blooming flowers?
I like the graphite sketch with the surprise of the pink blossoms. I was recently in Washington DC for the Cherry Blossom Festival there - it was so beautiful and your drawing is a fitting tribute!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for taking the time to comment, Susan. I'll bet being able to see all of those cherry blossoms in bloom was quite the awe inspiring experience! I have not had the opportunity to see this in person but it's definitely on my bucket list. It looks amazing!
