      Hi Laura- You can see on the framed leaf that you captured that there is a dark side and a light side of a leaf and it conveys the dimension and form of a leaf. Nice job!

    Here’s an update on the lily. Changed the drawing around the lily, and added more color.

    Doug Milne commented on Karye Hood's Photo 1 year, 1 month ago

    Wow! This is so beautiful Karye! The colors and details are stunning and I really like the composition you have in mind! You could add more dark toning where the stamen would be casting a shadow and that would make the center pop even more! One note: it always looks better when (for example: the edge of a flower and the edge of a leaf do NOT line…[Read more]

    Hi Karye- I love the mix of graphite and color! Your reflected light is so well done! Bravo! I have a couple of points about consistency. Your graphite tomato has cast shadows on the tomato, but I don’t see them on the red version. It seems the top, right sepal and the center stem would cast a shadow. Also, the cut image should have a reflected l…[Read more]

    I enjoy the strong visual impact of the piece Karye! Especially since you have shadow toning behind the flower I would expect to see more toning where the petals overlap, the areas of the petals where they near the stamens and shadows cast by the stamens. You have done overlay toning on a couple of petals near the bottom and I would continue that.
