"30 Days" - Rose #9

The ninth rose of my "30 Days" colored pencil drawing is the third from the left in the second row. Here are the step-by-step photos of how I layered the color for this flower.

I started with the lightest parts of the flower, preserving the darker shadows by keeping the black paper black.




Then I added layers of pink and peach to start building up color.







This flower again has a lot of purple tones mixed in, so I used several shades of purple to blend in to the pink and peach.





Once the rose was finished, I started adding in greenery to the background of roses #7-9.






And here you can see the entire drawing so far, with 1.5 rows (out of 5 rows) completed. 21 more roses to go!
