Inktober day 14 Distorted View

[eller]

No sketchbook of mine is complete without begonias! Those are my favorite flowers because... because... because of their leaves, which are mathematically fascinating. (Yes, mathematical interest also features in my appreciation of flora...) This one is distorted (and flipped upside down) by the water droplet hanging from a leaf. Obviously, I wasn't going for realism here (as also evidenced by the huge negative begonia-leaf shape in the background, LOL), I was just having fun. Also, I'm sloooowly trying to catch up.

Don't feel bad! It's clearly visible... ... ...in the original drawing, which is a whole A4 page. Yeah. In a sized down version, it's lost in the general scribbliness of the whole thing. :D

:) I think that also explains why you always think your art is so scribbly, and everyone else is like ??? about that -- the scribbliness also gets somewhat lost, when it's shrunk down so much.

Yeah, and it's even mistaken for detail - LOL. What does this teach me? It's entirely useless to invest time into detail work.

Just to clarify:

At this scale I can 1. see what you mean by scribbly, 2. see the refraction in that droplet, and 3. really appreciate the way the sparkles look :)

1. heh, it's a scribble fest, I told you so!, 2. yay, 3. everything is better with some sparkle XD
