Portugal Spring Flowers 🌺🌼🌸 (Step-by-step Illustrations - Week 13) (Patreon)

Hi Patrons!! 🤗

For this week we will be creating a Portugal Flower Page. You can choose your favorite elements from the references and fill a sketchbook page. You will find my tips, base layers and final illustrations, together with the materials I used, down below 🤗🥰

My tips to build up your sketchbook spread:

Start with simple shapes: Lightly sketch the basic forms of the flowers first with your brush pens.

Vary the size of your drawings: Try adding one or two larger flowers and balance them with a few smaller ones.

Leave some white space: Don’t feel like you need to fill the entire page. White space helps each drawing stand out. Try to leave roughly the same amount of space between each drawing. You can always add your colour palette where you need to fill in some spaces! 😉

I used the following Tombow brush pens as a base layer:

Tombow 126 (Light olive)

Tombow 991 (Light Ocre)

Tombow 020 (Peach)

For the second layer, I used the following Faber-Castell Pencils:

Faber-Castell 278 (Chrome Oxide Green)

Faber-Castell 188 (Sanguine)

Faber-Castell 108 (Dark Cadmium Yellow)

Faber-Castell 157 (Dark Indigo)
