Illustration Friday: Unfold



What can I say? I love spring. That a plant can emerge from a tiny seed is so incredibly amazing. My garden has been the focal point of my life these days, so when I saw that this week's work for Illustration Friday was unfold, all of the new plants that I've been caring for came to mind. This one in particular is a petunia - an Eagle Red Star to be exact. Petunias are one of my favorite flowers. They come in so many different colors and patterns, providing endless inspiration for me. This illustration was done in my Moleskine with india ink and colored pencil.

I love how everything unfolds in the spring--not just flowers, but the leaves on the trees, seeds, etc. Truly miraculous.

I really like your drawing. I should do more drawings from plants.
