Feeling floral

April 8, 2016Drawings, Illustration, Marker, Pen & Inkflower, poppyYuko

We’ve been having many beautiful sunny days in Seattle lately, and it’s getting me in the mood for drawing colorful poppies in my sketchbook!

Flower is one of my favorite things to draw, and even though it’s not summer yet, I’m inspired by the beautiful poppies in my imagination 🙂

Here are some of my recent poppy drawings. I used Sakura Koi Brush pens and Micron pen (size 01).

Purple-and-Red-Poppy-Illustration_lores — Red & Purple Poppies

pink-and-purple-poppies-9x12_lores — Pink & Purple Poppies

Orange-&-Pink-Poppies-9x12_lores — Orange & Pink Poppies

I’m going to be working on a drawing tutorial video for Sakura of America in the near future and think it might be fun to show you how to draw these? 🙂 I’ll keep you posted!

Oh, and speaking of floral drawings, I just added a new Pink Blossoms Mother’s Day greeting card to my Etsy shop! You can get yours here 🙂

I was on a black and white line drawing kick for the past couple of months. I just love the simplicity of line drawing very much.

But it’s been feeling more and more like spring here, and I want COLOR! I can’t lie – colorful drawings make me happy 🙂 Do they make you happy, too?

Here are some drawings I’ve made in my sketchbook lately. With some colors 🙂

Peppers in watercolor and pen. Some of the bell peppers look kinda like pumpkins… Oh well. I like them all!

Summer squash in watercolor and pen. I draw the shapes with watercolor and brush and add lines with my Micron pen when the paint dries.

Tomatoes in watercolor and pen.

Rainbow Swiss Chards in watercolor and pen.

Daffodils in markers and pen. I saw beautiful daffodils on my walk around the neighborhood one afternoon. I love their cheerful colors.

Purple crocuses in markers and pen. It made me happy to see many crocuses on the sidewalk during my walk.

Napping is My Full-Time Job in pen and marker. I love how cozy he looks when he’s taking a nap…makes me want to curl up next to him in a giant cat bed!

OK, I hope you enjoyed these drawings and have a wonderful Tuesday!
