End of year studies (Patreon)

I joined Howard Lyon's patreon the other day for all the beautiful reference he makes, and so here are my first two studies!

As usual, I try to do most of my studies in one sitting, and each took me a couple of hours. I like how both of them came out, but I really need to practice painting flowers. When flowers are all clustered together like this my brain cannot simplify it at all lol.

I used anatomy360 as reference for these!  I wanted to do something with strong shadows and rim light.
