Hi Ginny- good job on the hyacinth. I especially like the roots and the flower bud! I think the bulb and some of the leaves could benefit from further toning. You have dark toning on the left side and it needs to continue across the bottom of the bulb. The leaf on the right needs some dark toning on the inside, which is in view. The “V” where the small leaf meets the leaf to the right of it would be a good spot for a little darkening. Are you going to draw the flower when it blooms?
Just wanted you to know the light source is coming from the right

Unfortunately the bloom has gone by. This part took too long! I’ll try to find another one, when I can get out of the house;~(
I love the papery feel of the bulb
Thank you Hendrika. I was trying for that!
Ginny, this is wonderful, the bulb so transparent and the greens coming right out! So glad to see you online!
And the flower head, too! (I missed it because I didn’t scroll up enough.)
