💫The enlightened one💫

I wanted to do the before → after art meme. I wasn't even aware of the process saoifjiosajdfsg

But tbh I feel like I cheated because one is in traditional and the other... :3c

Before and after.

It had been about four years since my first ever digital drawing was created. I decided to redraw it in the same app the first piece was made - Ibis Paint X.

It had been a while since I last used it (I got a laptop with Clip Studio Paint on it so I kinda stopped using my phone for drawing) so it was a ride. I'm happy with the result.

New Flower Bed 1: Before-After

The garden has been created from scratch. There has been a field of wheat/rye before. The slightly sloping ground was leveled into three parts. This is the “main garden”, it is fairly large, about 20x40m. The romantic metal bench is located in the direct middle of the shorter edge.

A hedge of common privet is planted on the western border of our plot (red line). Behind lies a narrow field track and several undeveloped plots.

The colour theme is yellow and blue/violet. There are (apart from the ones mentioned below) various Achillea cultivars, Solidago, Hemerocallis, Rudbeckia, Phlox, Allium cultivars. The slug invasion caused a lot of damage, chewing the shrubs to the ground. Next year I´ll see which I have to replant.

The pictures show the “bench bed” last autumn, this spring and this summer.

Below - Flourishing are

Yellow: common lady´s mantle (Alchemilla mollis) and Euphorbia

Violet: raceme catnip (Nepeta racemosa) and Russian sage (Perovskia atriplicifolia “Blue Spire”)

I love the contrast between “dead” rusty metal and “living” green plants and so there are various metal ornaments in the flower bed and the bench, of course. The butterfly on the Blue Spire (down below, right) is supposedly a sphinx moth?? but I could not determine which exactly. There are a lot of these currently in the garden. I´d be thankful if anyone knowing the species could tell me.

Before-After: Whippy

Okay, so I was supposed to draw something else today, but then @alena-1987 drew that super adorable picture of her OC Elsa and Whippy, and after I cried over how super cute it is, I realised I need to redraw Whippy ASAP.

I remember even back when I drew her originally I hated every moment of it, hated the outcome, I still hate it. I only finished it out of spite, and I started to draw a lot differently afterwards. 

So yeah, she was long overdue for a make-over! I actually gave her yellow eyes this time like Whiparella has, as it was on the original sketch, and I actually put proper effort into her this time, and wow I actually like it, what do you know!
