    I had a lot of fun with bevels for this illustration.
    Every part has its own bevel settings to uniformise the contrast of the whole illustration.

    The design is based on one of John Lindley's drawings for his "Rosarum Monographia" published in the year 1820. J. Lindley drew this rose after an herbarium specimen of an old indian garden rose to which he gave the appellation Rosa Lyellii.

    Enjoy,
    ivan

    Gees ivan what a gorgeous rendering!

    It seems to be a 3D image of a pressed flower, yet remaining soft and delicate!

    Thanks a lot!

    John Lindley's original model WAS a pressed specimen of rose; that explain the non natural position of the leaves and other parts. One of my best moments was when I have found the solution to represent the reversed smaller leave (first changing bevel type and inverting light angle, then some fine tunings).

    Pressed flowers can be very interesting not only for the botanist!

    Kind regards,
    ivan

    What you have achieved with the use of the bevel tool Ivan.

    It really stands out.
