Pink Carnation

About the Pink Carnation:

A revised version of the Pink Carnation, a flower that I digitally painted for a special friend, “Sunshine.” I started work on the first version of this flower on .

This carnation was the first flower that I attempted to draw, digitally, using a freshly clipped, real, pink carnation flower as a model. I had set the clipped carnation in a small glass next to my computer screen, and tried to get the flower petals right before the flower wilted too much.

I call this first attempt at using a freshly clipped flower as a model only a partial success. Although I feel that the stem came out well enough, the carnation’s petals still need more work, but the flower I used as a model, well, it wilted and shriveled up many years ago. I should have worked faster.

With this revision, I spent more time smoothing out the Pink Carnation’s stem, and adding a fresh new drop shadow. Maybe the next time I work on a new revision of this flower, I will try to make those petals look better.
