Art Advice & Patterns

So I recently stumbled upon these great pieces of art related advice, which I wanted to share with you <3
It's been quite a stressful very productive few weeks, I've been kind of finishing my portfolio so here's a piece from there you might enjoy :)

Finished Forget me nots!

Bäääääm. I'm still way to wrapped up in this piece to say whether I like it or not. I will say though, that I'm glad it's done!

xoxo Alex

Nearly done!

Only a few more lines missing, then it's done! :D

Center piece of ornaments

Drawing an hour, with good music and no disturbance can make you feel so much better...

Now I'm going to sleeeep!

xoxo Alex

Forget me Nots continued

Took up the work on this piece again, after being a little of repetitive, tiny work :) So now refreshed I did the inner ring. I'm already dreading the dark center though...:O

Progress on the ornaments

Hey guys! This is taking sooooo long. I'm going to go to sleep now...

Progress on the ornaments

The work is slow at the moment, I finished the lines of the outside pattern and then figured out what I want to do with the ring in the middle :)

Finished flowers, planning of ornaments

Just trying stuff on the ornaments side. This is a bigger piece again, so taking pictures is hard, I'm sorry!

Forget Me Not-Beginning

So I want to make this a kind of series :) Originally I wanted to make it black and white, but then I let myself be taken by the awesome colors ;)

Finished Lily

I'm really happy with how this turned out. I definetely want to do more of this type of thing, it's such an amazing workflow...

Silhouette Window

Here's my last window doodle (for now). I will now proceed to look at color-how I'm going to do that-I still have no clue, but I'll figure something out ;)
If you added a very delicately pieced, colorful background to this, it could be awesome-don't you think?

Anyways, have a good night!

Magnolia

When in doubt, draw flowers! I really love magnolias because I connect so much with them from my childhood, so once in a while I still draw them :D 

Really have to do with awuarelle colors! ;)

Magnolias finished piece

Hey :) On Friday I posted a work in progress-well it is done now :D
what do you think?!

Roses

YES Yeeeees I know-Roses ain't fashion but they're beautiful so shut up! :D
I found this pic of roses somewhere in some magazine and I like it so much that I needed to draw some!
I wish I would have had brown ink (hint hint for all the santa clauses out there :D) for this because I think the black is so hard in contrast and actually these roses are supposed to be all soft and stuff...

hope you like 'em!
