I've recently become very interested in botanical themed drawing/image making. I find nature and plants so fun to study as they are all so different. I always find nature to be quite inspiring especially when exploring materials and finding out what textures/shapes can be made. Here are some practitioners I've found interesting:
Marc Martin:
He primarily uses gauche and pencil, I like how it is basically all done my hand and then just touched up on photoshop. I think it is really impressive to do such detailed scenes all in one go. He also uses great textures, which I want to do more of.
Monica Ramos
I love her incredibly detailed images, there is so much going on - and again all by hand. It's almost like a pattern but with a story going on within it which I really like.
Matisse
Matisse's cut outs are my favourite, I just love the simplicity to them. They manage to capture the subject matter in such a cut back way - so striking and pleasing to look at. I love detailed work but I think being able to completely cut away all the unnecessary elements to an image really impressive - and often more difficult.
