Nasturtium Bud on Drafting Film
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
*Youtube is still processing the HD version of this video so you won't be able to watch it in full 1080 quality until it's finished, which is taking forever.
The Nasturtium are bursting into life in my garden right now and I thought it would be a good subject for introducing how to achieve tiny, fine hairs. I show you two ways of doing this, we can use a sharp white pencil or we can use the Slice tool. I hope you enjoy it.
