    Lovely seems like the perfect word, so I will follow Kay and Melissa's lead. You have great form and depth in those petals. Very well done!

    Beautiful! You have got the whole thing sitting so well on the surface and those complicated petals truly make sense in your sketch.

    Beautiful, and clever composition crop!
    Did you use the watercolor pencils for the dark background?
    The background stumped me on my drawing, and you have a powerful result.
