Hi Marina, Such a sweet, cheery drawing! Again your toning is well done. I also like the colors you have chosen. Yellow can be a difficult color to work with. Good job! My problem with this drawing is more about the foreshortening. The cylinder/cone of the flower doesn’t seem to match the petals. The ellipse of the top of the tube should be more “face front” i.e. wider. Also keep in mind the stem to flower connection. It is possible that that stem would connect to the flower, but I want to see more of a “flow.” A slight curve as the stem meets the petal would accomplish this.
Katy, thank you for comment! I really appreciate it. It is my first flower ever, started at Wendy’s workshop, it was so much fun! I will use your advice to improve the next one.

I’m so impressed by your yellows! It’s glowing!
Thank you!
