Critique Request Calla Lily inspired scroll design

[Kyle]

I have been trying to come up with scroll design that takes inspiration from Calla Lillies. Here are a couple of sketches I’ve done that capture the idea I have.
I would greatly appreciate any input you may have.
Thanks,
-Kyle

Sorry Kyle, here is an unasked for critique;
Well designed but........
If you don't mind my saying it, your design would be MUCH improved if the shading was drawn lighter than most of the main outline cuts.

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely implement that on my next sketch.

Thanks Kyle. What do you think ??
I think you made a big improvement.
Keep working on the shading a little more.

The shading is definitely an area I need to improve in. I’m trying to focus more on than in my next design. I will post it when I finish it. Went ahead and cut this design on a practice plate. I’m pretty happy with some areas. Others still need improvement.
