How I Made "Harmonious Blossom"

A Step-by-Step Look

This post is all about how I created a small drawing called "Harmonious Blossom." It was a fun process that mixed digital tools and traditional drawing!

Here's a breakdown:

  1. Finding Inspiration: I went online and to my photo archive for a woman with a flower in her hair. Then I used GIMP to combine the best parts into one reference image.

  2. Sketching the Basics: I used a light pencil (2H) to draw basic shapes for the woman and flower, making sure everything was the right size and position.

  3. Adding Details: I switched to a sharper hard pencil (HB) to carefully draw the face, flower petals, and hair.

  4. Shading for Depth: I used multiple values (2B, 4B pencils) to create shadows and make the drawing look more 3D. I blended the shadows slowly for a realistic look.

  5. Finishing Touches: I added details to the flower and hair, making sure everything looked connected.

The final drawing, "Harmonious Blossom," is a small but beautiful piece that's both elegant and peaceful.
