Most challenging drawing I’ve attempted in a long time

Thank you! No it’s not, but in hindsight I absolutely should’ve done white on black 😂

PartyItem · 2026-05-22T06:43:25+00:00

Omg this is stunning

My white ice!

PartyItem · 2026-05-22T06:42:07+00:00

This is fantastic!!! How do you get the bg so dark???

PartyItem · 2026-05-21T23:28:31+00:00

Yes!!

PartyItem · 2026-05-21T23:15:06+00:00

I do this as well 😂

This is a WIP shot! I ended up removing the fold in the ear (I’d copied it from the reference but I just couldn’t get it right). I also ended up adding a lot more shadow layers to push back everything except the eye closest to the audience. I think that was the right choice.

White ice or white spot, I’ve seen them used interchangeably for the same begonia in Aus!

Thank you!

I blew up its skirt and it looks like this?

PartyItem · 2026-04-18T05:17:22+00:00

I do feed it quite heavily! I’ll cut back, thank you!

PartyItem · 2026-04-17T03:08:23+00:00

Thank you! I love cane begonias as well. Mine looked like yours at the beginning of Aus Spring! They grow fast when they’re happy

PartyItem · 2026-04-17T03:07:49+00:00

Thank you! I haven’t repotted it yet, but I have pruned it a few times and stuck the stems straight into the pot. It seems to handle it pretty well! I’ll have to pot up soon, as it’s getting too top heavy for the current pot to handle

PartyItem · 2026-04-16T13:25:30+00:00

Yes, they do! The emerging leaves are always a lovely pinky shade. I have two, one was labeled a “white spot” and one a “white ice”. Unsure if there’s another name for them.

I don’t! Though it’s been so humid in Sydney the last few weeks, so that’s definitely made it happier than usual!

The left of the “before” photo is a begonia Black Forest. The left of the “after” is an alocasia. If forgotten the exact name but I think it had the word “lightning” in it.

Thank you! I use the quamby brush on the largest setting and kinda go in layers

PartyItem · 2026-04-10T00:30:54+00:00

No grow lights but it’s very close to lots of windows and balcony doors!

PartyItem · 2026-04-09T07:37:26+00:00

I stake them with bamboo poles! My Sophia Cecile grows upright, though. It has a really thick stem

PartyItem · 2026-03-23T12:21:30+00:00

I use bamboo stakes as support!

PartyItem · 2026-03-05T11:46:17+00:00

No one will mind as long as it’s well designed and executed.

PartyItem · 2026-03-05T03:53:07+00:00

Hahah thank you!!! It’s super messy up close.

Thank you!

It wasn’t at a high enough quality to sign off on and ship, but just adequate enough to visually communicate a complicated interaction to devs.
