Trial of coloured pencil drawing technique

 I'm just dipping my toe in a different art style.  I tried water colour botanic painting, and have often though maybe pencil drawing or colouring would be less messy and possibly easier.  Yesterday I found online some courses, with the possibility of  of attending an 'in person' course.

I downloaded an on line tutorial given by Linda Hampson. This is a free taster tutorial and over the course of a couple of sessions over two days, this is what I produced.

Yesterday I worked on the petals part of the rose...

Of course this is a first piece, a learning piece in which I learnt lots of technics and already I can see what I would do differently next time! Of course I had no techniques at all under my belt.
