This is the drawing I've been working on the last two weeks. I wanted to continue practicing even though I'm between classes. The colors are a little washed out compared to the original. I'm still struggling with how to photograph my sketches.

You are getting so very, very good at this! The detail is remarkable, Ruth!
Wow. Just wow. Amazing.
That is so beautiful. You're getting good enough to sell your work!
Holy moly Ruth - that is amazing! Wow, really, really good. Brava!
I am truly amazed at your talent! You are really, really good!!! :0)
Ruth, You really need to start marketing your work. I know there are several stock houses that carry detailed botanical illustrations. This is incredibly beautiful. You should be very proud.
Beautiful. The detail always amazes me.
Wow...that's really beautiful Ruth!
Ruth, this is breathtaking! I love canna lillies and you have captured their beauty. Gorgeous!
I really like your work! So pretty.
Ruth! You have improved so much just in the few weeks you've been doing this!
You're a natural. :)
XOXO
Oh my...look at all the lovely shading and detail! I've really missed out in seeing your progress. I'm so proud of you!
You've done a great job on those flowers! They look so soft and pliable!
Lovely, lovely, lovely! I am so glad you are continuing with your art, and are kind enough to share your work with us!
Ok, so there are canna lilies! I corrected my sis and said she must mean calla lilies. Oops. I love the way you did the leaves with all the color and texture.
Just fabulous, Ruth. It truly is a labor of love. I can only imagine the intensity and focus it takes to create this kind of beauty.
Hi Ruth, You can check out any of the stock image sites – istockphoto.com is one I use a lot, just google stock illustrations or royalty free illustrations to get a full list – and go to their submission guidelines to see what their policies are. I believe most pay by the download, but am not sure as I am usually on the other side of the process. Good luck!
I love how you've captured the sunshine on those leaves. As for capturing intensity of colors in photographs, if you have exposure compensation feature on your camera, try going -1/3 to -2/3 stops. If not, you could try increasing contrast and saturation in software like iPhoto or whatever program you use to crop your images.
Lovely lily! I "canna" do it, but you certainly can!
I love that you're taking the time to perfect your art, and that you're doing something that makes you happy.
This is wonderful. So full of detail that it is amazing! Appears like you have been drawing forever!
this is absolutely scrumptious! You have so much skill and wonderful color sense - you amaze me as you progress!
