I was going through a bit of a rough patch a few days ago (some health issues with my family that are now resolved!) and decided to sit down and draw some house plants to try and relax. I think I find it soothing because plants don’t have a face or expression so you can take some liberties with the proportions and stylization, and plants themselves are just so.. calming? They’re always there, just surviving. They're like gentle witnesses to our lives. So here are some house plant doodles for you all!

We have similar taste in houseplants! I agree. There is something calming in drawing nature. For me, it’s water.

I'm glad to hear you and your family are doing well now! <3 I LOVE these plants. The yellow outline to them looks great.

Hannah

Gorgeous! I love your artwork and I’m always so inspired by it.

Jo

I love the subtle difference in colours! When you're dealing with many leaves, do you draw the background ones first or the front?

Kat Craig

Beautiful! I'm glad the family stuff has been resolved <3 I love drawing plants and trees for just low-pressure drawing too. It's very relaxing :)

Rohan

I'm glad everything turned out okay, Loish! I love how you describe house plants as "gentle witnesses." it's so true!

Tyler

I'm sorry to hear about the health scares, but glad they've improved! Wishing you the best and so thrilled you'd share this beautiful art and contemplation from your attempted relaxation. Inspiring as always. ❤️

Oooo the orange lines around the edges give such a nice backlit vibe, like the plants are sitting in a sunny room. Gonna have to try this next time I sketch some plants :o beautiful work as always!

Brilliant. Love your style. These are so delightful.

Loish

thank you! I just checked it out, the art is sooo lovely, going to give them a follow!

Loish

thank you! hope you enjoy your plants! they are so therapeutic and soothing.

Loish

thanks! most of those little sketch lines were made with a brush from the painter's maxpack called "Chunky Wet Acrylic".

Loish

thanks! I can't resist adding saturated edge lines haha. I always feel like it brings the whole sketch to life.

Loish

thanks so much tyler!

Loish

thanks! i was gonna skip that but then my boyfriend said the leaves were missing some shine :)

Loish

thanks Jo! I usually draw the overall shape first, and then divide it into chunky separations. I refine the separate leaves at the way end. with these, I found it helpful to focus on the silhouette before defining the separate leaves!
