Just like one of my art teachers used to say "an artwork is never really finished".

Amazing piece! I have a question. How do you make the colors in this drawing so vibrant and pop? I'm a beginner at toned paper and I was hoping to pic up some advice.

This is so beautiful.
How all the colors smoothly change and how even the flower looks.
And all of the sparkles and shines, this can't be called a doodle!

This is far too beautiful to be called a mere "doodle."
I really like drawing on colored paper myself, but my work isn't even half as good as this. I love how bright and colorful it is. The blending of the colors is so smooth, it's hard to believe it's colored pencils. And the sparkles, I love the sparkle effect here. I always love the effect of white gel pen on colored paper. ^^ And I'm envying your wonderful inking skills. How do you ink so smoothly and perfectly? That's always been a struggle for me.
For a "simple practice" pic, this is amazing.

Thanks so much!
Getting smooth lines is always a struggle, but it really just amounts to lots of practice and a steady hand. Approaching lines with confidence helps as well, I tend to mess up more if I'm anxious about everything being perfect >>'
