The prompt was "Frail."
Materials
- Pigma Micron 005 and 02 pens
- Faber-Castell M, S, and F black pens
- HB hardness drawing pencil
- White polymer erasers of various shapes and sizes
- Cold-pressed watercolor paper cut to 3.75x5.5"
Step 1: Sketch with a pencil
Sketch the general shape. I outlined the puffball shape as an ellipse and the general shape of the wafting dandelion pappi before I drew in the specific ones.
Step 2: Draw with pens
Using the
005, outline the general shape of the stem and leaf, the heads of the pappi, and the hatching of the dandelion head, then use the F to add the seeds to the pappi, the 02 and the M to outline and hatch the stem and leaf.
Step 3: Carefully erase the pencil marks
Results
This was amusing; I enjoyed the lightness and heaviness of different details. I want to add a
watercolor wash for the background.
