Nature Journaling Virtual Adventure: Drawing Desert Plants and Landscapes

I also love the inset landscape over the cactus beautiful stuff

Thanks for the feedback, Marley! My intent in placing the cactus like that was to fill the page. I wasn't sure I would have enough to complete a second page. I also knew it would be obvious that the hidden part was exactly the same as what could be seen already. I've done this often with birds in my journals when I wanted to show the important details that identify them but didn't want to spend time on the complete bird. I will say I drew this before looking up what the actual size of this cactus is. I think I would have chosen to make it smaller if I had known. It kind of looks like a giant next to the little landscapes!

Thanks for sharing Melody! The first thing that draws my attention on your page is the overall composition and how your page is organized. It it is aesthetically pleasing and the information is organized in a fun way that also contains a lot of feeling as well as observations. I am particularly interested by how the round cactus shape peaks out from behind the rectangular frame of the bottom landscapito. I would love to know how you came up with that idea? Your colored in frames are very creative also and your metadata box is really fun. I can't wait to see more of your pages in the future!
