Drawing Snapshot - Mimi's Flower Shop (Patreon)

Helloo my beautiful flowers!Yesterday I filmed my drawing process for this sweet little florist shop that will be a YouTube time lapse video next week and wanted to share it with you! I also filmed a second illustration for this month's drawing walkthrough video for Beautiful Bluebells that I'll be releasing late next week (I think Friday 23rd).

I wanted to draw something a little different that wasn't a cottage or a character, so I drew just the shop front of a florist filled with flowers and being looked after by a couple of kitties!

I started out with a sketch and then drew in all of the main colours. This drawing is in three sections: the door/window frame, then everything inside the shop is behind it, and everything else is in front of it. Once all my colours are in I'll add LOTS of texture layers to add shading and depth, and also plenty of little details.

I really like how this one turned out, it took me a little while to find colours that I liked together (especially for the inside) so I spent a while going back and forth to get them how I wanted and to have enough contrast to be able to see everything. Don't feel like you need to know all of your colours upfront! It's ok to figure things out as you go and change back and forth (I do it all the time).

I hope you're all having a wonderful week! ♥
