This was almost as difficult to photograph as it was to draw! It does look slightly better in person even though Fibonacci patterns are definitely not great. I had fun with the spines though.
Renata, nice!! You did a great job at keeping these very three dimensional. You captured the Fibonacci pattern nicely while keeping it looking natural. You were able to make those individual tubercles look 3D too. And those spines! Really beautifully done. One thing you may want to do is darken the spines that are in shadow a bit, especially on the right side of the cactus on the left. They wouldn’t be quite so bright white since they are in shadow. Really good work.

So glad you drew this! They look amazing. Great spines!!

Thank you for the comments, William and Pam! Pam, yes, you are so right. Those spines do look too bright – I will work on them. Thank you!
