From there I added a few flowers facing the viewer to fill things out. After that I just used a little leaf pattern to correct the shape and color of things so that it didn't look quite so patchy.



Things were a little different in the shadows and denser areas but that was the basic process along with a lot of tweaking whenever things looked too chaotic or didn't seem to flow properly. I was hoping that by using repeated patterns the flowers wouldn't just look like pixel noise though even now I'm not entirely certain whether I succeeded or not.
