Lotus

The image of a field of flowers came to my mind while researching Budhism. I am also studying the art of origami and have combined several different folding techniques to complete this piece. The larger flower is made up of several smaller flowers, to create the effect of layering. The legs however, have not given the effect that I was looking for, and in fact seem to resemble some sort of virus, or army of flowers.

Fashion Ad

This piece was originally from a Fashion Ad. I chose this image to practice my skill with shading. I chose a monochromatic color scheme in order to focus on value. I have just begun working with colored pencil and since this image had a lot of contrast, I found it was an appropriate image to practice my skill.
