Great job Maureen!!! The color saturation is fantastic! The thing I question are the highlights. The highlights are so strong on the 2 bottom pods, but not as strong on any of the other pods. Specifically the top two pods on the left. Should the top pod highlight be stronger or the bottom pod highlights be toned down? What do you think?
Very nice. I love that pod opening up and spilling its seeds. So fun! You did a beautiful job of leaving those edges of the pod walls nice and light where they meet the shadows on the inside. And those inside shadows are nice and interesting, and show some great form (not just a dark blob). I like all the different views of the seed pods that you showed on the stem. Really lovely work. I do agree with Doug about the highlights. I think if you darken the ones on the bottom, while brightening the ones on the upper left, this beautiful drawing will be even better. Wonderful!
