How to make it look 3D: Show the overlapping petals and shiny leaves!

To show the round, overlapping petals and the shiny texture of the leaves, let's pay attention to "shadows and highlights." Places that become shadows:

• Add shadows with a darker color than your main color to the places where light does not hit, like the base of the petals, where the petals overlap, and the back of the leaves. This will make your Sasanqua camellia look round and full!

Where the light hits:

• If you use bright colors or white lines on the parts where the light hits, like the tops of the leaves and the tips of the petals, you can make them look shiny and bright!

Let’s Show the Textures!

Colored pencils: For the petals, if you color softly and evenly, you can show their soft texture. Leaves: For the leaves, mix deep green with a little bit of black. If you think about the shiny light while you color, they will look hard and glossy!
