The next upload shows the photo I took of the daffodils when they were fresh.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The photo looks much grander than the drawing, but I made the leaf shinier and darker, added dark sepia behind the lemon where it abuts the Satsuma, and strengthened the cast shadows. I’m happy to keep working on it (and have started the acorns) – so feedback would be great. Thanks, Lynne

I will put a darker edge between the lemon and the orange to separate them more. Thanks for the help, Wendy. And Patty, I like the orange best – although the leaf needs to be shinier – I’m going to work on that, too. Thanks for your nice words.

Here’s a lime slice, a small Satsuma orange with a shiny leaf (needs to be shinier – so help!), and a small organic lemon with lots of green. I didn’t put a cast shadow on the leaf, since it’s off the plane of the table, and used very light cast shadows…[Read more]

It’s got nice detail, subtle color, and incorporates a branch, fungus, and a lichen. The botanist in me really likes the grouping.

And, I really spent time doing these – slowly, as you suggest, and got a lot of enjoyment out of this exercise.

I’m wondering if my reflected light region is too bright – please advise
