flowers in a can...

Alright, this is my second digital drawing. For this one, I have a mix of tulips, chrysanthemums (abbreviated to ‘mums’ most of the time, which is sooo cute) and a single white rose.

It’s pretty successful, I think (personally). Unlike in the previous post (with the thistles and carnations in the olive oil bottle), for this drawing I used lines to draw it rather than just block colours. It definitely makes the shapes more defined.

I did leave out some of the flowers from the drawing because it was a bit too busy as a picture (plus I didn’t want to have more things to colour in and draw, lol). But I’m unsure about the background colours and composition… I think the plain surface and background don’t really work for this one. It might just be my colour choice though… More things to consider going forward…

I also think that the line that divides the table and the wall… I think I should change its angle. Instead of just a straight line, maybe I could angle it to make the composition more interesting. More slant (/) than flat (—).

I also feel like, if I were to change the background colours, it wouldn’t be too hard to change the colours of the can. The flowers and leaves would stay the same, maybe the tonal value could be adjusted… but the background and can colours could easily be changed to suit and compliment each other than the grey/brown with the blue right now.

And again, just like with the previous drawing of the thistles, it would be interesting to take the can and flowers out and place them in a different setting, like the office I suggested before. Or it could be a kitchen table, or on a windowsill in a bedroom… anywhere really.
