Cottage Garden Drawing Session (Patreon)

Hello Beautiful Bluebells!

For this month's drawing walkthrough video I've drawn us a lovely flower garden with lots of layers! I wanted to show you an example of drawing from a reference, organising layers and maintaining contrast when using lots of similar colours (like green!).

Next month's video will be more lesson style, I'll put out a poll soon to ask what topic you'd like me to cover first (maybe something like colours, texture or brushes?).

The reference photo I used is one I found on Pinterest - it's pinned in my Cute Cottages board - and it's from the Pacific Horticulture account (here is the link to the original page).

I've attached below the Photoshop file for this illustration so that you can have a look through the layers if you like (does it work in Procreate?). Let me know if you have any questions at all!

I hope you enjoy this video! You can find the other videos in these playlists:
