Coneflower

Not much info on this drawing. But it musta been a good day for a walk through the park to catch some coneflowers in bloom. Cannot say what coneflower this one is. Narrow ray floretts with the small diameter center disc should be a clue....
The shapes and the colors of these guys are never static. They are always changing from early bud to dried seed head. The weather always shows them differently as well. Sun or shade, wind or calm, seldom do you find the conditions or the flowers the same.
But it is interesting when you find some displaying at this angle.  I can't tell if these were a compilation of different views or mostly one view.
Drawings like this one I do in ink from the get go. No sense fiddling around. The images are fairly straight forward, not a lot of overlaping on a grand scale.
And black ink is good for old coneflower heads.
