Partially desiccated iris rhizome that I didn’t plant in time. The leaves had dried except for one that was still green! Practicing roots and overlaps on leaves.
Great job Carol! Really nice sheen on the rhizome! Everything is beautifully rendered! If the roots are flat you are good. If the roots are elongated cylinders then there should be a range of tones on each root to convey their roundness. Even though the roots are thin you can still have a small range including a highlight. Wonderful job!
Thanks, Doug! I see what you mean about the roots. They are very thin, almost spider-webby–I actually made them appear thicker. I hope to join the discussion, but will also play around with changes, based on your suggestions!
