Roses for Cristina

Again roses. I know, I know, but they are the easiest to draw and almost every girl I know likes roses (not myself though, I like them, but they aren't my favourite ones). This took a while because I was busy, but I like the final look. The roses itself are based on two photos I found on the internet, while the leaves are mine. I hope you like them.

Roses for Maite

Yes, once again roses. When I want to do something for a woman and I don't know her too much  or I don't really know what she would like (or I don't care enough to try to find out), then I draw her flowers. So here is the answer to the fact that this blog is getting pretty full with roses, because they are the best for me in relation time/final look (my favourite flowers are carnations, but they take longer to draw and people usually like roses better). I love the look of the two colour rose, a shame the picture didn't catch it too well (the drawing looks better than this, I swear). I hope you enjoy it.

Roses for Andreea

Yes, my friends, flowers again. A girl-friend of mine had his birthday a month ago and I did this for her because, you know, flowers are easy to draw and usually girls love them (plus I had already drawn for her a plane because she had asked me to, so it isn't like I had to do anything actually). I don't know if you can actually tell because I had to make some "arrangements" to the photo I took of the drawing (or it was impossible to see it properly), but the two roses aren't the same red.

A Rose for Victoria

Today, guys, I feel like a Goddess!! Look at this. All made by pen (something I've never done before, at least not in colour). At the beginning I made the drawing and shadows with black pen, but a friend of mine saw it and said: "can't you add colour to it? Like with a red pen make so some of the petals here in the bottom are a little red? Here you can borrow my red pen for the rose and this green one for the leaves". So I thought "challenge accepted!". I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but I'd like the idea of trying something new and different. So here it is. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did making it. Man! I feel so proud. The leaves aren't the best and the bow I made it too fast, but the rose itself is pretty awesome. Also I try to make the little flowers violet with blue and red pen, but I think it didn't turn out too good. Oh! Well, it's hard to find a violet Bic pen.

P.D. Today I figured out how the scanning machine in the "Bibliothek" works. So from now on I'll try to make better scans. This one I had to scan it as a PDF document, then "display it in the screen", make "Impr pant" and copy it to paint, and finally uploaded it here. Hopefully from now on I'll be able to scan it with better definition and also in a compatible format.
P.P.D. Hey! Apparently I've been writing "Geburtstag" (Birthday in German) wrong all this time. I've just found out, which was pretty sad. It's not my fault actually, I have a  huge "postcard" my friends made for me in my birthday and somebody spelt it wrong, and I was using that to write my "best wishes cards". Well, I hope my friends like the drawing anyhow.

Lilies for Virginia

It turned out it was another friend's birthday as well this week. So, even though I don't know her at all that much, I did this for her so she would at least have a present from us because all our efforts went to make Marina's present. I'm more used to draw roses than anything else. So I tried these lilies and I'm not certain if I like how they look..., but I wasn't going to take too much time on it because I also have to study a lot.

Roses for Marina

Today was a busy day. A friend of mine, here in Germany, is celebrating her birthday. I spent the last week putting together her friends to make her a video, but I also wanted to make something personal. So I drew her these roses. They are easy to do and girls normally like this kind of stuff, so here you have them. I based myself on two photos I saw of flowers, but, as usual with flowers, I did my own vision of them not caring too much about shape and size. I hope you like them. I thin they look pretty decent

Flowers in 20min

I know I'm not an artist, but a perfectionist that knows how to draw which makes me try to do anything the best I can, but I just can't make it as good as an artist would do. I know I'm not, but there are some days that I can see that at least I'm talented. I've got a gift, not a big one, but a good one. I made this drawing in 20min, and even flowers are the easiest thing in the world and these look a little weird, I'm pretty proud of myself.
The story is that yesterday I found out at 8.30pm that I had missed my flatmate's birthday. We were having a meeting at 9pm to talk about the chores of the house. So I got into the computer, googled the word "flowers" and during 10min looked for something that convinced me. If I have had more time, I would have searched for something a little bit better, but I didn't.  Then in 20min I didn't draw those flowers, but a sketch based on them because I didn't have the time to do them perfectly. So decided to trust mi instinct and draw leaves and petals based on the flowers I had on my screen, and the shadows were kind of made up as well because I didn't have time to do them carefully.
At the end it turned up pretty decently. I gave it to her and she seemed to like it, but I'm not sure. At least I tried to undo my little mistake.

Basket with Flowers

This is an old drawing I made. The basket is one that we have in my house and the flowers are based on Emilio Freixas' drawings.

Roses with pen

i was so bored of flowers I tried doing something different and use a pen. I don't quite like the look of it. Too artificial I think, but it was fun.

Lilys

I think they are lilys. I like drawing flowers. When I was learning to draw I always did them because they are so easy. They don't even have to be exactly as you see them, that's the fun. Anytime I want to do a drawing for someone and I don't know what to do, I go with flowers. They'll always look good
