Here is the updates version. Looking at Pam’s pear drawing and Harriet’s ‘Party of 3’, I recognize that I need to learn how to light coloured contours. My dark coloured lines take away from the pale highlights ex. flower stems, flower edges.
I am glad you enjoyed my party of three! Yes, learning how to soften the edges of your drawing and not rely on lines to complete the form can be quite challenging. As I’m drawing I keep rechecking where the highlights begin and end and try and softly shade the colour all the way to the edges. Carefully finishing the edges helps also.
You are doing a great job Helene! This is really beautiful. It has a ton of personality. I especially love how you managed that tangle of petals on the lower left – nice handling of overlaps. The colors are just beautiful – they have a lovely soft feel to them, that makes me want to reach out and touch this flower. It’s beautiful.
