Reference images - Week 20 (Patreon)

Good morning everyone!! ☀️

I am back from my little trip here in the Netherlands! I went to Noord-Holland with my mum for a few days. We had a lovely time together. We went to the beach and walked/cycled through lots of cute villages! I still have one week off from my job as a nurse, so this week I have a lot of time for illustrating, which I'm looking forward to a lot! 🤗

For this week's references, I wanted to draw some whimsical houses again, surrounded with nature! I hope you like to draw references like these as much as I do! 🥰

Final illustrations week 19

This morning I finished the last two references from last week. The olives were part of my Italy spread for the exercise I posted last week: Exercise - filling a sketchbook spread

As you can see I used a limited colour palette for all three references. I only used the following brush pen colours:

Tombow 991 (Light Ocre)

Tombow 912 (Pale Cherry)

Tombow 126 (Light olive)

Ecoline 374 (Pink Beige)

And for the pencils I used:

Faber-Castell 157 (Dark Indigo)

Faber-Castell 165 (Juniper Green)

Faber-Castell 167 (Permanent green olive)

Faber-Castell 188 (Sanguine)

Stabilo aquacolor 630 (Dark Brown)
