Hi Zadira!
This is beautifully done. You have a very strong sense of light and shadow which will serve you very well when you begin shading. :o)

I would like to have you work a little more on this drawing to make it neater and have more contrast. Also, please add a small section that is also in shadow on the left side of the stem directly below the bud itself.
I closely examined your drawing and I think you may be working with dull pencils in some areas. This technique works best when all the outer edges are neat and crisp. You don't need to erase anything - just go over some sections with different grades of pencils that are freshly sharpened.
I printed your drawing and drew over some of your lines to show you what I mean. I then scanned it and added it beside your drawing in the attached image.
Oh, and I'd love to see it again when you add these refined lines. :o)
Brenda
