No idea how to draw flowers without a reference, if I do it with a reference I will probably end up copying it and I dont want to do that ..
That and I will probably be making up my own flowers.. hopefully ^^'

My character Seth at ages 7 and 17, the 17 year old version, his torso ended up to long.. tried fixing it a bit, bit I still think its to long..

Draw from several references not just one. Also another good way to do it is to actually go and draw a few from life if you can so you understand how the flowers work. (You'll also probably get ideas easier if you know their full anatomy - how the petals attach to the stem etc - for making new types of flowers.

You mean several references of the same type of flower right?
Now I need to look up flower names lol

I have a poinsetta- part of one, that I am drawing right now.
I cant really get any other kind of flower unless I buy one, its winter and even thouugh its warmer than normal, flowers still dont grow its way to cold for them.
The flower shops may get a bit expensive though, will have to draw more flowers in summer.
Thanks ^^

You also can use photo stock on DA and just be sure to credit. :3 As long as you are crediting your source and the source is available to you, copying is fine. Just be sure the check the rules!
