Sketch Saturday: Aescinpetal – First Flora Sketch
Sketch Saturday: Aescinpetal Flora Sketch
This is my very first flora sketch, and I’ve been super nervous to share it.
Until now, I’ve only drawn creatures for this world. I’ve finished four so far, but recently, I started exploring the flora, and Aescinpetal was the first on the list. It seemed like a good place to start!
AESCINPETAL
(Pronounced something like “ESS-kin-peh-tuhl”)
The Aescinpetal is said to bloom in places of quiet mourning, often near ancestral shrines or peaceful graves around Lunaaris. Its petals are ash-grey, feather-soft, and layered like smoke caught mid-spiral. It’s not loud or strange or threatening… though it does remember.
In this sketch, I wanted to capture that sense of stillness. The faint white ring beneath it represents a ring of ash — something the flower is often growing within. Some believe the ash forms naturally, and others think it’s left behind by the bloom itself.
There’s more to this plant in my notes, but I’m keeping most of it close for now. This was my first attempt at drawing a flower for the world and a small start to the flora alphabet of Lunaaris. From this week, I’m working through my flora sketch series.
Thank you for being with me while I learn to share my world.
