Hi Douglass- I am wondering what happened to the stem. You see it go behind the leaf, but it does not come out the other side to attach to the base of the bud. The leaves are a nice color green and they have a nice fullness to them. I would add some toning to your flower bud to give it some form. For a light color like the bud a medium to dark green would be good for the toning.
Hi Douglass, a tiny detail that helps, I think, is to vary the length of the lines at the bottom of the stem when we “cut” it off in our drawings. For example, the lower right line could extend down a bit and the colour/toning continue a bit down there. Pam has an example of this in a recent drawing on her page that illustrates what I’m thinking.
This is lovely. I really admire your leaves!

Nice work, Douglass!
