Colored Pencil Lilies

Here are a few more flower drawings to compare. I always find it interesting to see the differences and similarities between colored pencil and acrylic. Both these pictures were drawn on cards. I sent them both to two different of my pen friends who lived in Germany as birthday cards. I even made a little clay tea set to send with the card above, which cost me more to mail than to make... But my friend loved it! Please don’t even ask if I drew these from imagination—never. I went through a flower bulb catalog and picked out blossoms from there to draw: tulips, lilies, and bluebells. Flower seed and bulb catalogs are always a great source to draw from if they have a lot of nice pictures! I especially love the new multi-colored tulips they’ve come out with.
