Very good, much better than what I could do when I was 16. Can't say too much, except maybe a hint to working from reference. Start with big shapes and place them carefully on the painting. Check that they are right before continuing. Place every stroke deliberately. No scribbling.
It works wonders. Really gave my painting the kick that it needed.
I like the rose the most of these. All the luck of the world with Amber !! There's a pretty girl in my life drawing class as well, and I'm beginning to like her

I personally like the two flowers the best. Keep up the good work
