Native Illustrations: New Hampshire

Botanical / Nature Illustration
2020
Several years ago, I illustrated a botanical drawing of California as a personal commission. In the years since, I have sold hundreds of prints of the California drawing, along with even more requests to continue the series.
Slowly, I am beginning to revisit the project.
Initially I intended to work alphabetically, as this project is estimated to take over 800 hours (and will likely take several years, as I'm only able to tackle it on the weekends and in-between client work.)
Of course, I couldn't let Wyoming fall yet again into the trap of last place. Instead, I decided on a lottery system, where I will re-shuffle the deck of remaining states before I begin each drawing.
New Hampshire, completed May 2020
Over the last two years I have had the opportunity to visit 45 states. And so, with each drawing, I would love to share a fond memory of that state.
Tools used:
Procreate, Adobe Photoshop
State Flower: Purple Lilac
Secondary Notes: Foxglove, Trillium, White Campion, Bracken Fern
Framed art prints of New Hampshire in both monochrome and full color are available for purchase in my Artist Shop.
Final pattern design in two colorways.
