The image is a stylized illustration of five flowers in a dark red pot, set against a blue sky with white clouds and a green grassy background. The art style has a textured, slightly brushstroke or crayon-like quality. The pot is wide and shallow, a deep reddish-brown, and positioned at the bottom center of the image. Emerging from the pot are five flowers with long, slender green stems and varying green leaves. From left to right: An orange flower with a yellow center, resembling a sunflower, with straight petals. A yellow flower with a brown center, also with straight petals. A flower with a broken or stylized orange petal, featuring thin orange stripes and a light orange center. Another orange flower, similar to the first, with a light orange center and straight petals. On the far right, a fifth flower, also orange with a light orange center, similar in style to the others. The background consists of a wavy, dark green hill or ground, and above it, a light blue sky with wispy white clouds. In the upper left and upper right corners of the sky, there are small silhouettes of birds flying in formation. In the bottom right corner of the image, there's a small, faint signature "Stef 9 Oct 25".

@liitx.bsky.social I originally did have the white, but it was too bright with the darker colors. So instead opted for the light color with the opacity set to Screen.

@liitx.bsky.social do you mean the baseboard? It is actually the top color on the right with the Opacity set to Screen.

I’ve been learning to hand draw #DigitalArt so I can create game sprites for my pending #FlutterDev #Flame game. Today, I watched an #ArtWithFlo YouTube video (link below) and drew this using my iPad and #Procreate. Having fun becoming a #ProcreateArtist. #NotAIArtwork
