Hi Rita, Now that is a lively flower! I like the colors you are using! That purply pink really glows. I think what this flower needs is more pinpoint dark darks. Use an indigo in the triangles where the leaves converge and the shadow under the flower. Just in the darkest darks. You could use the same color to carefully pop the petals. Use a sharp pencil and just where the darkest darks would be. I also think the dark center of the flower could use some more attention. It is where the eye is drawn to, so it should be more defined. Seems a bit soft. Again take a darker sharp pencil to define the pistils(?) better.

This is a really fun page, Rita! I think Katy is spot on about those little touches of dark–I think that will really take this to the next level. I also wonder if maybe those stray petals should have… cast shadows? What do y’all think?
