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.

I'm very much liking your treatment of the water droplets in this! (and everything else, but the reflections are great!)

I keep trying to look for what you mean about distorted/flipped but I keep not being able to figure out what water droplet you're referring to?

It's a lovely image, though! It's clear how much love you have for your subject matter. :)

What's so mathematically fascinating about their leaves?

I love how much detail you put into these.

Another interesting one! I love the negative space giant leaf!

Whoa, that's so fabulous! It looks like a window into a phantasmagorical alternate reality.
