This is one of the few ACEO (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) flower drawings I did after my dad returned home from the hospital several months ago. Actually, I drew this about two weeks ago, making it the latest piece of the series. It's untitled for now, since I don't know what kind of flower this is.

Finished it off with a bokeh like the two previous drawings. I have always enjoyed looking at the paintings of artists I admire, hoping to pick up something
from their work to incorporate in my drawings. Maybe I don't apply colors on a canvas, but I like to think that some of the effects that is achieved in paintings can be applied in drawings too.   

I'm juggling my time between working on my next ACEO flower drawing and still life piece - my version of Challenge No. 4... taking progress scans of them so I'll have something to post for the next few weeks.

That's it for now, enjoy the rest of the week!

Here's another drawing with the bokeh background. Plus some water droplets. It's like putting some of the things I've learned to the test.

Here, I experimented with a different background. I have always liked the effect and mood that a bokeh gives to a painting, so I thought I'd try it in my drawings.

Challenge No. 8

Maybe you'll recognize this one as similar to one of the previous challenges. The subjects are practically the same, but with a few changes. Perhaps, it could make a pretty good series.

A cup of beverage arranged on a wooden surface with an old book and a pair of eyeglasses.

Enjoy the rest of the day and happy drawing/painting!
