Hi Faye- there are a couple of suggestions for these paper whites. First would be to shade the top of the stem where it meets the flower petals. The petals would cast a shadow on the stem and the shape of the petal will help determine the size and shape of the shadow. Remember that there will be a curve to the shadow on the right hand side of the stem to emphasize that the the stem is an elongated cylinder (giving the stem form). Although narrow, the stem should have a range of tones – highlight to darker – to again emphasize the form of the stem. Same goes for the ovaries. For the flower, upon close inspection white flowers will often have a hint of color on the petals and stigma. Depending on the flower it maybe a light to medium green, or yellow, or pink, etc. If petals do have a hint of a color it helps give your drawing more realism and definition. In addition, using a pale grey for the shadow toning helps the white from getting muddied. The cup shape surrounding the stigma on the paper white should have shading on the cup to convey it’s form. Consider the direction of the light source to know where it would be lightest and darkest. Adding darker toning at the base of the cup will make it stand out. Also consider if the cup/stigma would cast a shadow. With the light source coming at a 45 degree angle from the left, the petals on the left will be more in shadow, especially getting darker nearer the center. Where petals overlap there should be shadow toning and as I mentioned, the center cup will most likely cast a shadow onto some of the petals on the right side. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions. Looking at reference pictures should help too.
