#26 - Amaryllis

I seem to have skipped another day, it appears to happen during the weekend, whey I thought I would have more time for drawing...oh well, I don't think I did a good at this one, seems to not pop like the others, still trying to get better at it...

#25 - Hibiscus

#24 - Common dog violet

I did a search for some common British flowers, I wanted to keep with today's British wedding theme, so I found this flower.

The internets has different variations of the name, it's a very leafy flower too...

#22 - Wild Geranium

#21 - Hosta Flower

Here's one with an interesting name, Wiki says it's a species of lily-like plants...

I have seen lots of very beautiful flowers on the internets, but unfortunately they were not identified, if anyone has any idea what it might be, please let me know and I'll label it correctly.

#18 - Tulip

#17 - Star-flower

It certainly looks like a 'star'...

#16 - Datura

Interesting name, don't think I've heard of it before either...

I did skip a couple days on the 17th and 18th...but hopefully will get back on track now.

#15 - Primrose

This one has so many different varities too, and I couldn't decide which one, so basically I just decided on the one that looked easiest, I will try another variety later...

#14 - Lotus

Here's one of the many varieties of the Lotus, I saw some picures of some in full bloom, I'll leave that one for later...

#13 - Snow in the Summer

I enjoyed drawing this one...

It came out a little strange, like lungs, but the middle looks flowerish...

#11 - Bell Heather

Here's a different looking flower and usually it's in bunches, pretty cool 'bell' shape...

#10 - Senecio medley-woodii

Interesting name (never heard of it), it's a Succulent plant (I don't think I've heard of Succulents either)...

#5 - Plumeria

I am really proud of this one, I really like the shading...(originally created on 4/6/2011)

#4 - Crocus Wildflower

I found out how hard it is get shading and composition right...I'd forgotten about that...so this drawing I feel doesn't show the correct contours because of it...I'm working on it...(originally created on 4/5/2011)

#3 - Rose Bud

I eventually will tackle a full rose, but I have to admit that flower intimidates me...so that's why I decided to just take on the rose bud for now...(it was originally drawn on 4/4/2011)

#2 - Peace Lily

(originally created on 4/3/2011)

#1 - Saguaro Blossom

Here is my first drawing in my attempt to create one drawing a day for the next 365 days.  Since I didn't start this blog on the exact day of my drawings, the first few will show up under todays date.  I welcome any constructive criticism.  I have not put pencil to paper in SUCH a long time so I know I will not start off strong, but I hope to get better and better as the days go by.  I will also be adding color pencils, but probably not for a while, maybe until I feel more confident with just a black pencil for now...
