This can be a time consuming project. I have spent a lot of time on some flowers and they look very nice even creating a type of 3D effect. This one was done kind of quick but I think everyone gets the idea. Let me know what you think or if have any questions about the technique.
Nick, Interesting and creative! Nicely done. I like the depth created w/ the framing lines and that you didn't just lay them on top. Thankyou for sharing your workflow!
Hi Nick, Very creative adding a different dimension by the petals overlapping the lines. I also like the sketch look of the image along with the crop...
Re-Create - Rose
