Another recent 8"x10" colored pencil drawing I completed is this one, titled "Strength" after the symbolism of the subject matter: ginger flowers! I used Prismacolor pencils on toned tan Strathmore paper.
I started with a light sketch to lay out where the colors would go - the main red flower with yellow details and green leaves on the right, and a yellow and red flower stalk on the left, with larger leaves/blades of grass in the background.
Then I worked on the flower on the right, adding depth and dimension with several different colored pencils.
Once the flower on the right was finished, I moved on to the yellow and red stalks on the left side of the drawing.
Here are some close-ups of the finished drawing:
I also took some photographs of the completed drawing with a white mat, and listed it for sale on Etsy (which you can find here).
