Rough sketch - daffodil blossom

This is a rough pen and ink and colored pencil sketch of a daffodil blossom. It was a freebie at the grocery store. They were clearing out flowers that were nearly wilted, so in addition to one for my 2-year-old to hold while we shopped, I asked for one for myself!

I could have been a little more delicate on the colored pencil application, but I just wanted to get some rough color laid down to get a sense of the blossom.

This is really nice! I like the looser feel it has.

Thanks, Ann! I'm trying to do some quicker, looser sketches as well. Helps me keep drawing regularly and practice getting forms down quicker. I'm always pleasantly surprised when it looks nicer than I think! :)
