Day thirty-one of The 100 Day Project for 2021.

I feel like I phoned it in today, and it shows.

Just feeling tired and stressed and too much on my mind tonight after I finished my work for the day. And too much still to do before I rest tonight. And things to tackle tomorrow that are stressing me out more.

So I foolishly used a 6B for the darker tones on the top of the buds, not thinking ahead that it would leave me nowhere to go with the shadows around the buds. They had to be 5B instead, which I hadn't used before, so the lines are too harsh in the shadows.

I drew the outline initially with the 4H again. Created the darker pinks with the 6B. Went heavier over the bits in between with an HB, then added the shadows.

That's all she wrote.

Will do better tomorrow, hopefully.
