Im sure I would love this if i could see this. I looked this up and I said, "WHERE"S THE PICTURE?!" No, joke. My sister gave me a funny look and everything. I don't know if it's just my computer but there is no image here. Wait, no. It only says the word image.

Its pretty. The petals seem really flat though and without life. I know it seems odd to try and add movement to a still picture but sometimes it really adds alot. ie- You bend a petal out so its sepertated from the rose. Or have it falling down from it. And there really isn't much shading on the actual rose. The leafs are shaded okay but the rose needs alot more. The saying is sweet but may i reconmend something? If you are putting words on a picture, use a ruler. Place it underneath of where you are writing, so it is straight. With a little work this could be really pretty! Keep Drawing! ~Cassi

Don't get rid of the words. They're just fine and really sweet, and besides, I like the cool layered effect that the text gives it. For future reference, though, you might want to add text on a computer just so it looks a bit nicer, if you know what I mean.
As for the rose itself, I'm going to have to agree with ZebraSkittles. It looks very flat, like there's not depth to it. I think the pattern is nice, but it just looks like you cut out a half-cylinder and drew the pattern on, if you know what I mean.
Sometimes the petals aren't always going to be straight and perfectly aligned. One might be tilting off too the side or it might be beginning to wilt. Try not to make the inside so tight, either. Loosen it up, and create some space within the petals.
I think it's a good start! PM me if you have any questions.

Hey Isha! I think I've recently reviewed some of your fiction, so I felt like I had to come check out your drawing! It's cool that you can do both; I'm definitely incompetent as an artist.
I really like the shading here, but I agree with the other two; the rose itself doesn't really have any depth, and the words, although cool in theory, didn't quite work out here. Thanks for posting!

Okay, I'll have to try fixing it up in my skecth book. I don't think I'll post it on here though since I had such a painful time getting it posted the first time around... xD
