The Rose
I have been practicing my drawing, which was a part of my New Year's resolution. I drew my first ever rose. The rose is a really difficult flower to draw. I really want to master this flower because it is my Mom's favorite. If I can master drawing it, maybe I can paint it. This is only my first attempt, so be gentle!
I am really just practicing techniques such as shading. I am trying out different methods in order to "hone" my skill.
Remember to be gentle with me!! (contrary to popular belief, my ego is fragile!)

Nice work, J! I like it a lot. I have one thing that will help it to look even more real, if you want it to: the little white line/space between actual rose and shadow could be thinned to be almost not visible, but there nonetheless. That will make it look even better.
Great job!

Thanks Lisa,
Although you cannot tell from the picture, the area you mentioned is lightly shaded. I went back to the drawing and went a little closer with the darker shading as you suggested. I do think that it did improve the drawing.
I am not buffering my words because I think you are strong enough to handle the truth.
It's beautiful and I think your mom will be happy with the final results when you paint it.
Thanks Cele,
Thanks for the nice compliment. I will have to try painting one sometime. I have the perfect color for my Mom too.
PS - I am already looking forward to Friday. I know I will need a break by then. My HUGE 18-week project is due on Monday, and I will be working hard on it all week in order to have it ready to be turned in on Monday. I hope you have something new written by then (or even a part of something). :)
