Spectrum of Rose Scents

The picture here is a rose I made the other night I was a little tired so the blending isn't as good as I would have liked but as an exercise I thought it was fair.  The white areas are cut out which gives it this cool real feeling when I hold it.  When I draw roses I think of my Mom.  She loves roses and as a little girl growing up I learned the pleasure of the differing aromas.  She would tell me the name of the rose and insist that I must smell it.  The perfume/soap smell that the stores name "Rose" doesn't capture what naturally occurs in nature.

I spent a portion of today brainstorming a few more alphabet inspired drawings.  Lately my brainstorms are taking place in a lined notebook and usually involve strange little doodles.  Mostly I play around with placement and finding the sweet spots that make the future drawing work best.  I hope to get the final drawings done later this week for letters E, F and G.
