This was such a fun project. I’ve always enjoyed drawing and painting roses but this was my first time trying to render a rose in digital media. I went on ahead and decided to try to go all-out with gradient meshes instead of using shapes of flat colors.
Bearded Baby has landed, and his beard is major. I drew him tonight after spending the day trying to solve XML mysteries and adding metadata to art for MICA. I worked on a related baby illustration yesterday too, but scrapped it after I decided it was creepy looking.
