I need to make the base of the moss more solid; and add detail to the leafy/badly support. Also, those little mushrooms need work to make them stand up out of the moss. The left stick needs attention.

I like all your suggestions. Honestly, I got lazy with the cast shadow and stopped lightening/minimizing it. And even tho the highlight is not so white on the paper (as in the photo), I’m going to add more color to it — think it will be better. I worked on getting those lines more curved and just couldn’t get them there! I’ll go at i…[Read more]

And the twisty petals on the white flower, lower right! White is so tricky and you aced it. The pink petal is a beauty.

Your lichens are identifiable. I find the modeling on lichens is hard to do in such small spaces. You need a really sharp point..I think its a great job, as is.

This eggplant really eats up the color. But it does seem more cylindrical, I think.

I’ll try again. They bloom all summer. The leaf is actually that green color, though I think of it a more the grey of the stem. I tried to make it more grey, but the green comes through now.
