sometimes people can struggle to reproduce the complex shapes with shading like this. you can start with sketching them freehand. this way you’re focusing more on the actual shape. start drawing from the outside-in (or inside-out, depending on the perspective), petal by petal. then start shading. that way you don’t have to worry about the color. if you find that you’re still struggling with the shape, you can even start with tracing over an image of a rose until you can freehand the petals overlapping each other.
once you’ve gotten the hang of freehanding the petals all together, you can work on the shading and then the coloring, then you’ll be able to paint it just fine. The key thing is practice, practice, practice, and flower petals can be especially difficult.
I promise you, those people painted thousands and thousands of petals before they were able to do that. it takes a lot of practice to make anything look that easy ;)

Thank you, I’ll give it a try. I’ve seen some people paint each petal with one stroke and make it look so easy. I’m not having such luck
