"Saving" Flowers

 
I take a lot of photographs of flowers.  Then I fill a page in my sketchbook with little drawings of them.  When I want to use a flower in other artwork, I use these pages of sketches as references.  The anthurium in the photo above, for example, I used on these artist trading cards.

In My Sketchbook

 
Although I feel like I'm doing nothing but the #30daysofbiblicallettering project, I do have a few new pages in my sketchbook.  One day I was practicing trees with foliage.
