This time, I’m posting an image I copied from the cover of New Moon, one of the books from the famous Twilight series. Below is the original cover:
And below is my copy of the flower in the cover:
Medium used: Acrylic paint. Well, I think it was a pretty good try, considering that I’m weak in painting. I think it does look quite alike to the original, so I’m quite pleased with myself. 
Used a small amount of dabbing technique for some parts of the flower, especially when I need to blend colours for the shadows. Colours used are generally accurate, but I think I should have added more shadow for the right side of the flower. And I think some parts of the flower are also quite slipshot, didn’t draw them in detail. I think because I was lazy, or I was running out of paint(I’m serious)……
Oh well, this was rather comforting to me, since I’m really a newbie at painting.

Hello tingyi, you read newmoon!
haha i feel you should give the petals more details.
the ends should be more subtle instead of a solid pink lines.

you can perhaps use a very fine brush to make the “feather qualities” that could not have been done with a thick brush.
however, it is commendable that the colours you used are really similar to the one in the book
