Day 19 in 30-30 Challenge

The challenge is to draw floral picture. I live in the mountains so thinking of flowers in the winter is nice. I have always loved poppies because they are so lovely in the sun. We were to do a black and white drawing. I work with various photos (not mine) of poppies trying to get a feel for what I like so much about them. I wanted to work on composition so my plan is to draw one today and then add to the drawing tomorrow for my second floral drawing. I am  behind one day but I got the first one done. I tried to use shading and to show how delicate they are. The leaves I just had fun with them playing with all the fun shapes.I started out with very little powder then added to create the shading. The leaves were made by adding very little powder then moved around to create the shape leaving a verity of shading. I like it can't wait to see how it will fire.
