Yesterday was another run-around-and-get-things-done day. Whew! Taxes, appointments, scheduling, ya-da-ya-da. It’s boring stuff, believe me.
Anyway, today was drawing day. Eating lunch between all the craziness, I clicked on Alphonso Dunn (my hero!) on YouTube, and his tutorial of a rose popped up. Very simple way to look at a rather complicated subject. Essentially, a rose is a cylinder with layers peeling back. Voila, there it is.
I did use a pencil to create the shape, and erased it multiple times. If you enlarge the picture, you will see the paper is pretty dirty after 3 and 4 erasures. However, the paper held up (Bee), the ink went down (Micron 0.3), and so did the paint. I’ve never really done a rose well before, so Dunn’s tutorial has, yet again, explained things I never thought about. Go watch him!
A beautifully conceived rose! I like this style of sketching.

Thanks, Sharon! I don’t think it would have been as successful without Dunn’s video. He’s great. So are his books. 😉
