Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 11 months agoBeautiful colors and nice neat rendering of the flower. Now I would love you to try another one, as the day lilies keep on blooming. Focus on each petal and try to draw the subtle variation in the petal edges so overall your flower will look less stylized and more realistic. I do love your style , though and your compositions and lettering!

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 11 months agoOne flower is important to tone correctly. You drawing is lovely , however how about erasing a highlight on the light side and create some variation between the shadow side and the light side to make this flower really pop off and look 3D! -

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 11 months agoThis is a great start! Now, though I want you to think that each flower is a very round tubular shape, and methodically make sure to tone with the correct light source to make each flower look more 3D and less flat. Also shade the flowers on the shadow side a bit darker to make the whole group of flowers look 3D as well. I know you can do it!!!!! -
