The hibiscus flower is one of my favorite flowers, asides the really nice tea you can get from the plant which gets tastier when you add spoons of honey, the colors of the flower are a blessing to the eye. Whenever I take a walk in the evening, seeing the white and red hibiscus peeking beneath green leaves puts a smile on my face. Since it’s the season of love and gift giving, the hibiscus flower is a symbol of friendship, joy, love & affection, I suggest you include it in the bouquet you’d like to gift, if you’re a flower person that is ; )
Process
I made use a cretacolor pencils and my Sinoart sketchbook
I sketched with a 2H pencil before moving on to shading. I wanted the character to look a bit more solid so I made use of the 4B pencil to shade. In my mind the light source was to the left so I shaded the hair and flower whilst keeping that in mind and then it was pretty much done. I feel I might need to find a different way to shade the flowers, it feels like something is missing, hopefully on the next piece I’ll get it sorted out ; )
