Today I had a little more time to work with the details of each sketch. I am still working with just pen and ink, so each is still a line drawing. The first one includes some negative space work, but was completed very quickly.

The imperfection of this daisy was very interesting to me, so I took more time to sketch in some of the details. The spaces between the petals are as important as the veins in each of the petals, to give the entire sketch balance and visual interest. Although a different application of negative space, one that can be equally valuable in the right situation.
