Description
HA, my mom saw this accidentally last light, so I guess it's an early gift (YUS).She absolutely loved it and I got pissed. I don't want to know what's good about it, I want to know what's BAD about it.
ARTIST OPINION
I wish I used yellow as the background (or maybe a light blue), but she wanted pink in her picture, so LET THERE BE PINK!
The leaves and the petals LOOK ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS. Especially the background leaves.
The butterfly... don't get me started...
RANT OVER
Anyways, since professionals surround me, tell me what's bad about it. No need for compliments (since there is nothing to compliment), let the complaints roll in.
I don't know why I'm in this mood again... nothing happened recently... ?

I did try to do gradient... but I guess I sucked on that too as well like the rest of the picture. I agree on everything you said.

I think you're being way to hard on yourself (but who isn't). I see what you mean about the background. I kind of like it the way it is since it picks up some of the tones in the butterfly and the flowers and it makes a nice contrast with the green in the leaves. If I had one negative comment, it would be that the flowers don't look very realistic. There is just something a little bit too inorganic about them, and I think it is in the coloring and shading. It's still nice, though.

I'm still working on my "shading skills" (like I had any to begin with). I think the problem is that I don't use any greys... only darker hues of the same color. Don't worry, I'll change that!

Yeah, shading definitely isn't one of my stronger points, either. But I still like this!

I think it's lovely work. I think the leaves look great. Maybe the background leaves could have been a little more defined, but other than that they look good. It's definitely a pretty piece.

Lovely picture, the tone on the butterfly (a red admiral?) looks really good.

oh wow! Its lovely! Though I agree with you that yellow would have been nicer to provide some kinda contrast.. not that im an expert in colours haha. still, I dont think the pinkness detracts from the picture
You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, there are plenty of things to complement about this!

Very soft colors and pretty amazing precision on the butterfly, the pink background while not being your idea, gave a nice touch. I like it!
