I was going through a bit of a rough patch a few days ago (some health issues with my family that are now resolved!) and decided to sit down and draw some house plants to try and relax. I think I find it soothing because plants don’t have a face or expression so you can take some liberties with the proportions and stylization, and plants themselves are just so.. calming? They’re always there, just surviving. They're like gentle witnesses to our lives. So here are some house plant doodles for you all!

Oooo the orange lines around the edges give such a nice backlit vibe, like the plants are sitting in a sunny room. Gonna have to try this next time I sketch some plants :o beautiful work as always!

I love plants. <3 Have you seen Dokirosi's work? They have some pins of plant illustrations they're offering to Kickstarter backers! I saw them today and saw your post to Patreon and thought I'd share their work to you to enjoy as well!

Loish

thanks! most of those little sketch lines were made with a brush from the painter's maxpack called "Chunky Wet Acrylic".

Loish

thanks! I can't resist adding saturated edge lines haha. I always feel like it brings the whole sketch to life.
