I worked a little more on the leaves. I did it only using just colored pencils. In the end I used the ivory pencil for burnishing, but I am a little bit hesitant about it. I feel I loose the texture of the pencil stroke – which I like so much – as it washes the colors. Maybe I just have to get used to it. View

Well done, Edith. You really captured the structure of this flower well. It’s truly stunning. My only suggestions would be to work the leaves a little more so they don’t look so… neat and tidy. Like, all the veins look very regular and similar… maybe give them a little more … irregularity? Not sure how to say what I mean here, but do you sort of see what I mean? I also think, compositionally, this might look more balanced with something in the bottom right corner? Maybe a petal? What do you guys think?
Yes you are right. I had a similar feeling after finishing, like it is too picture perfect – i felt i should have chosen a different more irregular leaf, or a different perspective to draw.
