Just some abstract flowers today, no reference.

had a great time observing magnolias in SF Botanical Garden!

Pear.

Great video! I loved the tips on the sandpaper blocks! All my pencils now have long points 🧘‍♀️

who knew shading squares and gradients could be meditative! I ended up discovering a process for the gradients- establish the lightest and darkest tones, find the middle of the strip and establish the mid tone. This is the most important decision. Now divide the 2 sections again and establish mid tones of each section. With 4 manageable sections, start grading the lightest box up to the established darkest tone for that box. And so on.. Do you have another process? Please share!
