I've been looking at sorting out yellow flowers, and trying to de-mystify the tricky process of making a yellow flower show shadows, without making it mucky and a dirty yellow. The first technique is to draw the flower in pen and ink. The second is to add shadows in light pencil tone. This handout explains the process further.
