Highly detailed black and white botanical illustration of an antelope bitterbrush shrub with gnarled branches, small leaves, and five-petaled flowers.

Generate a highly detailed black and white botanical illustration of antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata), a shrub with a low, spreading, and twisting growth habit about 3 to 6 feet wide and 2 to 6 feet tall. Show many gnarled branches close to the ground, some layering into the soil. Depict numerous small wedge-shaped leaves, each around 1 to 2 centimeters long, with distinctly three-lobed tips and edges curled under. The leaf surfaces and undersides should appear with fine, realistic textures to suggest varied fuzziness, but use only black and white shading. Illustrate plenty of small flowers with five petals per bloom, attached singly along branch ends, with simple outlines to show their structure. Add elliptical or ovoid seed pods attached at branch tips. The composition should have no background—display only the plant itself in isolation, emphasizing structure and detail through monochrome linework and shading See more
