Let's draw some sunflowers🌻

Presenting my entry to the contest! Here's a Sunflower drawing I made with colored ballpens.

Sometimes not having enough art materials leaves you no choice but to get creative!

Sunflowers are beautiful, and they're yellow, my favorite color!
🌻 Sunflowers turn toward the direction of the sun
🌻 Their yellow petals look like the suns rays
🌻 They will always be bright and cheery ready for sad days

I used to plant sunflowers before as a hobby when I was 10. I love how I see them grow and bloom. ☝️♥️🌻

Materials:
🖊️Any kind of paper
🖊️Titus colored ballpens
Yellow
Orange
Brown
Red
Green
Black
Purple

The Process 👩‍🎨

The proces is simply using crosshatching and scribbles. I didn't sketch the flower anymore, I drew the ballpen directly onto the paper.
Just be careful not to make mistakes and use a scratch paper to wipe the pooling ink of the pens tip to avoid blotching on your art.

Here are the work in progress photos

_{yellow and orange for petals and green for the leaves}

_{brown for the pollen}

At this point I did not know how to draw such detail so I used line art -
scribble to form texture of the pollen

_{doing the second flower}

_{I use purple to darken spaces in between and in darker areas black, this will give depth and shadow}

Here its as if I'm using the ballpen to slice out a petal from the paper.

Then it is done!

📸 This is my favorite shot

I think it somehow looks realistic. Working with ballpens can be tricky. That must be the reason why I failed to make it hyper realistic. But nonetheless I am happy with the outcome.
