Beautiful colors Zara! They are spot on! I think a little dark toning at the center would help punch up the center which looks unfinished to me. I would also add some toning on the stem below the flower petal. The petal would cast a shadow on the stem as probably would the center petal. In addition, the stem also needs a highlight and range of tones on it to emphasize it’s cylindrical form.
How fun to draw a flower that you grew and nurtured from a little seed! I’m loving your vein details, and how you are showing how they branch off, and get thinner and thinner toward the outer edge of the petals. Very nice. Take Doug’s advice and get some more 3D form in there, and it will be even better. Great job.
I grew the plant from seed, and I loved the dainty flowers so much I couldn’t resist drawing one of them!
