Now is the best part. Start toning... You can use either a 2B or a 4B grade pencil. If you're a right-handed person, start from the upper left hand side of your drawing. You can rotate your drawing for your easiness. Stroke from inner to outer part of a petal one by one. Stroke the inner part with more pressure from the outer part. This is important so that your drawing becomes real.
