I love how the stalks twist. It looks natural and truthful.

Wow, gorgeous, Wendy!!! I love this just as it is. I suppose if you wanted to, you could crisp up the edges of the leaves with some colored pencil; maybe darken a few more of the overlaps. But I really love the softness you’ve achieved here. Can’t wait to see the others!
I agree with Vern. Lovely as it is. Maybe a more distinct cast shadow on the leaf behind the flower to set it forward more and perhaps more of the saturated green of that main leaf on the rest of the drawing.
Thank you all for the feedback. The flower opened so quickly the drawing and photos weren’t matching up which totally confused me my attempts to capture the mid-way drama. I will try to continue with the final bloom. HAPPY NEW YEAR (the only thing good about 2020 was meeting botanical friends. Take care, Wendy
Hi Wendy! That is stunning! You have come such a long way from when we first met in a class in 201? whenever! We will meet up again soon! Keep drawing!
I plan to do 4 drawings at different stages. Please provide feedback on this first attempt.
