portraits of plants

some plants from my sketchbook; no lichen yet. combination of pencil and marker. my scanner is ancient and it did not pick up all my pencil, oops.





in retrospect these are kind of manky, but i like them anyway because they're helping me figure something out. the cactus is my favorite.

i want to arrange a trip to go to the franklin park zoo so I can draw portraits of primates. summer: i like it.

these are really alive. interesting choice to leave out the color that you did. definatly cool. look at durer's plant drawings and watercolors. also, see if your scanner will go to a higher dpi or ppi or whatever. if not, try updating the firmware. if not, just take a picture.
