Ishbel, I know what you mean about the line around the edges. Sometimes you can get that edge effect with a line that has variation in width and pressure, so you get the idea of a line without it reading that way. We sometimes call this “sensitive line.” Practice changing the pressure on your pencil so the line width varies and disappears and reappears in places. I think you’ll find this useful with all kinds of petals. 🙂
