BLUE FLOWER Blue is a color that can catch your eye and make you feel so many emotions This is an analogous drawing of a flower using Adobe Illustrator on a Bamboo tablet. I started out with the 100 line drawing and created the shape of the flower. I chose the colors between blue and purple to use for the drawing. I started out with the darkest blue in the middle of the flower and worked my way out gradually getting the lighter blue color more and more. I had difficulty blending the colors and creating the shadows under overlapping pedals. Overall, I believe it was a good drawing but could have been improved more. When I first look at this drawing, I find myself drawn to the middle darker blue part of the flower and to the outer pedals. 26 - Wilderness Wilderness - 27
