grow
ok, finally got back into the Creativity Boot Camp themes and finished up a drawing for "grow".
This is the first year I've really paid attention to how seeds grow into plants, and I was amazed to discover that the first pair of leaves are practically identical for all plants, and that it's the second set of leaves that are unique to the variety.
I first drew the little plants in pencil, outlined them in black and filled in the various green colors.
After scanning it in, I added a few more details to the leaves, which I think was a good call.
In the drawing I've shown swiss chard, parsley, nasturtium, and basil seedlings, and I think the details help to identify them a bit more, at least in my mind. If I had been a little more proactive, I would have filled a pen with white ink to do the lines on the nasturtium, but I didn't, so there.
I also made the drawing into a repeat pattern.
Once I had the drawing scanned in, I had to adjust the positioning of some of the individual plants to get the pattern to look more balanced, but otherwise the drawings themselves are untouched.
I repeated the pattern once more to get an idea of what it would look like smaller.
I think it would make a nice pattern for lining something. Or possible a table cloth.
