Original artwork description:

Digital photographs do not show the real extent of the quality of the work done on each drawing. DSLR cameras cannot see the full details of the colouring.

I began to work on this drawing convinced that the subject was a Rosehip, but then someone told me it was actually a Cherry blossom. Whatever it is, surely it is a flower that it caught my eye.
When I found the original photograph I was in awe at the light, the transparency and the shades at the background. The photographer must have felt the same way I did when they took the picture.
To draw this particular subject I used soft pencils, they're the only ones that really help me achieve the result I'm after when it comes to luminance.
It took me two months to complete this artwork, as well as a lot of softness of hand.
I chose “Whiff of Light” as a title because this is the kind of idea this subject brings to mind, a light that radiates like a soft whiff.

Materials used:

Caran D'Ache colored pencils on 220grams smooth paper
