I did this pink Ixora flowers based on a photograph I took some time ago.
Instead of doing the batik thing again with flowers, I thought I’d try the same style I did with the cat portraits. I love the result, it’s very country, happy and fresh.
I loved the experience of making the first batik-inspired illustration of hibiscus. That was of red blooms. I decided to make a second one, this time of yellow hibiscus, also based on a photo I took. I think I enjoyed it even more 🙂
Incidentally, the white dots all over the flowers in the illustration, inspired by the style of batik art, seem to reflect the water droplets on the flowers in the photo. That’s coincidental, but it does make me look at flowers and other elements in batik art in a new way.
Drew these from Hibiscus flowers that bloomed in our garden, in a style inspired by batik painting.
