Colored Pencil Flowers - The CreativeMindClass Blog

Mar 16, 2022

 If I had to choose one word to represent my style of drawing that word would be "Spring'.

I want people to see my artwork and feel that they're blooming, just like warm spring flowering blooms.

Cottagecore is the lifestyle I have chosen and believe in. It could be because I reside in Seoul the largest city in Korea and I love the natural beauty and rural lifestyle far more than the sights I take in every day.

So rather than spreading intensity rather, I try to convey a serene and serene mood that is similar to what I see in nature.

 What's the most important thing to making your illustrations?

First, I'd like to discuss the things that I find inspiration in. I find joy even in the smallest of objects. The blooms I find in a garden or the whispers of a flower that flutter when wind blows or even a tiny blossom at the corner of a street I see as I walk.

My work is mostly inspired by tiny wildflowers. Nature-inspired landscapes taken from ancient botanical encyclopedias and rural landscapes are also a source of inspiration. I have saved a great deal of information through images and usually take notes of colored pencil art ideas.

Then, let's look at the method of working. I create drawings to the level of elaborate details as if they were real flowers , and communicate my thoughts through the use of color.

I use sharp colored pencils that precisely express the shape of the bloom. Then I create a relaxing and warm atmosphere by employing pastels instead of bright shades.

I like also to juxtapose the plain and texture of paper by using the technique of paper flowers for creating an impression of blooming flowers.

In contrast to drawing simply instead, I believe that creating papers with flowers can create a better atmosphere. This is a closer translation from my own imagination.

My name is Yeo Jin, and I'm an artist with a colored pencil. illustrator and writer based in Seoul. My artwork is based around flowers since they bring me happiness!

So far, I've published six coloring pencil instructional books. I also have collaborated with various brands to illustrate. I currently give lectures to students of drawing and am also making products that are sold on the internet as well as in local stores.

I have my colorful pencil artwork in Instagram as well as at my website.

I'd like to introduce my Youtube channel. My vlogs are about traveling however they also include various travel-related drawings and inspirations (mostly colored pencil drawings) which I create during my journey.
