My Daisy, Mushroom, Pink Rose, and Venus Flytrap drawings can be considered the non textured and detailed plant construction drawings (The extra lines or black colouring is just to help me picture the contour or give a bit more clarity respectively).

Although I spent a long time drawing each one, at moments I felt like I rushed or did not have enough focus to draw intently, resulting in misplaced lines.

I also felt like I struggled to know where to colour in, or how to construct many forms in a tight space like in the centre of most of my flower drawings.

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
