Hi @preye2!

Your thoughts about drawing and your historical approach to the rose as a theme of art and love is very interesting.
Regarding your drawing, it is interesting and nice to see in the drawing process how the rose appears step by step with your detailed descriptions there.
I think your drawing is very well done, the dark stem and the leaves give a strong contrast with the rose to achieve a good balance.
However, I would like to advise you on two things:
Be more careful with your drawing materials or support (paper). This must always be in excellent condition to be presented to the public, keeping in mind that it is a drawing that is displayed as a work of art, not as a study sketch. The damage that your drawing sheet has harms the appreciation of your drawing.
Second, next time take a photo of your work, not of you with your artwork because the important thing in the challenge is your drawing or painting.
I leave you a better presentation of your drawing as an example.
