First Sign

...Of spring, that is.

Haven't done any life drawings in a while. Also, I hardly ever draw flowers, so I decided to try something a little different. 

Where I live, weather patterns can get rather...unpredictable, especially in the winter. It doesn't get really cold or snowy until around January, but strangely enough, some flowers began to bloom earlier than usual this year. The first flowers to bloom in our garden are, of course, crocuses, and I love them. I remember always going out to the flower bed in our backyard to pick one for my mother when I was younger.  Sadly, these little beauties don't live for very long, so I thought I'd try to preserve their loveliness on paper with colored pencils.
