Burning rose, expanded

Above is my sketch, almost finished, with a rose I wanted to experiment with in the center. Progress shots below.

 

I really had no idea how this would turn out. I honestly just startd with a squiggle in the center. But over the years, I've practiced with symmetry & building out composition as I go. This is now blown up as a poster on my wall!

In progress - half stippling

Started from a squiggle

Started out with the diamond-shaped squiggle in the middle of the picture and ballooned into this penned doodle!

Oh, deer!!

A fun little doodled version of a deer. Cannot take credit for this idea/style/figure - I saw this on https://www.instagram.com/fayehallidayart/ and loved it so much that I knew I had to take a stab at drawing it. The end result looks really cool, but my hand hurt so much, and is still sore. Probably won't finish this one
