Wow, Olga. Beautiful details on this stunning drawing. Well done but allow me a comment: I would have accentuated a little bit more the darks. So you would have more contrast. That is my opinion but maybe it is ok in reality and the photo is not showing the real difference between light and dark. Anyway it is really an amazing drawing!

Fabulous drawing Olga!

Thank all very much for taking time to comment. Mia: I totally agree with you, I tried to put the darks in, but was not sure how far I could go. I had 2 ref photos one for the bird and one for the flowers, and the lighting in them was coming from two different directions. So I had to "tweak" flowers lighting and do it from the opposite side, so l was not quite sure where the darkest darks would fall. But it will come with experience and practice.

A beautiful drawing. Love the tonal work.

Thank you all very much for you encouraging comments and taking time to comment on my work.
