Pink Flowers (Digital Pastel Day 1)

This is a work in progress. Tonight I decided to do another drawing on the computer, because it is fun and good practice. I thought I might draw more flowers, easy to do when I am drawing from imagination. I started a new file in Painter and chose a dark background, and used digital pastel. The dark background really made the digital pastel "texture" show up, and it kind of felt like I was drawing with chalk on a chalkboard. I started with pink circles, and went from there. I used a grid overlay to straighten out the lines. I worked for about an hour, but couldn't spend any more time on this tonight. So this is what the drawing looks like now. I plan to continue tomorrow. . . .
