added comment inDrawing a Complex Shape
Hi figaro,
I can share how I approach such things.
I usually use a Copic to lay a basic structure( a sphere in this case for the head of the flower and then I add the elements like leaves and petals.
This very basic layin acts as a guide for me as I usually use a fine liner to ink it.
I usually focus on the bigger shapes ignoring all the details at this point. I try and draw the shape of petals and other elements focusing almost entire on their contour.
After than what I believe adds the most 3D look to it are contours.
You can be done here if you are practising forms initially otherwise you can go ahead and add the shadows , just separating dark from light.
I will try to upload an example whenever I can till then you can let me know if you found this useful.
Feel free to ask me if you didn’t understand something.

I tried my best to explain my process through this.

Just uploading for today to make sure I'm keeping myself in check ;3 visualizing the plumb line is a but of effort but if I just enjoy myself things go much faster I feel.
Oh yes I agree! Time flies when you feel immersed. Looking at your daily drawings I imagine you are enjoying them a lot. Great work!!
