Just some Flowers

Not my normal sort of thing and I considered abandoning it a few times.
Imagine it, no political message, no black humour. It has no edge
But when I got it into my head that I was going to finish it no matter what was when the problems really started.
Flowers are easy enough, I knew that from the geMeni drawing but leaves, I found out are a pain in the arse and no mistake. I’m still not completely happy but I am definitely finished working on it and on to new projects.
I’m taking suggestions for a new name for this and its wide open for critique.
Pencil is only my thing since about six weeks ago.

Here’s the cool thing about this though, I didn’t look at one picture of a flower, just did it off the top of my head.

    I’m trying to think of a title that will give it your signature edge.

    Jays I dunno myself. If they were satanic in some way I’d be a much happier man.

  • theyellowfury

    theyellowfury in reply to butchart’s comment, 2 months ago

    new at pencil work?
    you cant tell,
    its gorgeous and so well done!

  • theyellowfury

    theyellowfury in reply to dimarie’s comment, 2 months ago

    Not exactly. I’m new at being any good at it. I did art at school and design in college (drinking) but for the last ten years its been computer stuff only. The pencil stuff’s quicker and more relaxing.

  • theyellowfury

    Oh and thanks.

    Brilliant flower work Simon. Yes, I agree with the other comments. This is astounding pencil work.

    Sometimes madness is good

    Thanks. It’s not a huge distance from where I am to mad. Seriously though I am never doing this again. On with the surrealism for now.
