/r/BotanicalIllustration
A place to share your own botanical illustration or works credited to the artist.
Botanical illustration is the art of depicting the form, color, and details of plant species, frequently in watercolor paintings. They must be scientifically accurate but often also have an artistic component and may be printed with a botanical description in book, magazines, and other media or sold as a work of art. Often composed in consultation with a scientific author, their creation requires an understanding of plant morphology and access to specimens and references.

Question about Forget Me Nots!
So, I'm working on an illustration of Forget Me Nots and I'm trying to figure out the structure of the little pieces in between each petal. Are they a rolled up part of the petal, or is it a structure from underneath the flower to the stem?

Wild daisies or strawberries?
So, I drew this a couple months ago and thought I had referenced wild daisies for the little white flowers. Did I get it wrong and draw strawberry flowers?
