During the month of September I joined the Botanical Beasties drawing challenge on Instagram. It was hosted by a number of illustrators and consisted of a list of flora and fauna which we could choose from each week.
For the first week I chose 'Hummingbird and Hibiscus' and I used a vibrant colour palette of greens, hot pinks and turquoise. The pink of the flowers really zings on the green background,
For the second week I chose 'Frog and Foxglove'. I stayed with the same green and pink colour palette and added a fern in the background.
For the third week I chose 'Zebra and Zinnia' and created a wreath of zinnia flowers with the zebra head poking through. Zinnias come in amazing colours so I really enjoyed adding brights to this illustration.
For the fourth and final week I chose 'Rabbit and Red Clover' and changed my style slightly for this drawing, using a linocut look instead.
