Welcome back Jill! Once again you have selected a great challenging subject and have done a wonderful job! I would think about revisit the toning. The drawing is rich in detail but I am missing the range of tones that would give it form. Right now there is no distinguished highlight or range of tones so the viewer can not tell where your light source is coming from. Adding that would establish the form it needs and take this to the next level!
Jill, this is gorgeous, and your style is shining through. Like Doug, I would love to see more overall 3D form on that group of little flowers. I’m seeing some – you are getting lighter on the left than the right. But you can push that even more, by visualizing the entire inflorescence as a cylinder (get lightest about a 1/4 of the way in from the left and darkest on the right. It’s beautifully drawn, and gorgeous just as is. But I would love love love to see that 3D form coming through some more.
So pretty! Jill, you have such a lovely, distinctive style and I really enjoy seeing your work!
