Step 1
Sketch a lily
Lily petals tend to be a little stiff as if they've been starched. So it's good to make them a little stiff and floppy only near the ends where the tips of the petals taper and the structural integrity weakens.  Pro Note: Lilies have six petals, sometimes I miscount myself. 
Step 2 Do the flatting.
This is a pretty basic white lily, so for the white to show up I turned the background of the flower a different color. Lower the opacity of the outline and in this case I made the lineart black.
Step 3 Add some Shading
This lily has yellow in the throat of the flower, I add a light dusting at this stage so it can be shaded over and prevent it from looking out of place later.
Step 4 Add More Shading + Highlight
Use shading to bring out the form of the petals. Lily petals are a little stiff but they are also very soft. Add more shading towards the end of the petals to create the illusion of a bend in the petal. The petals are highlighted in the middle of the petal.
Step 5 Add shading and details
Added little decorative lily leaf under a petal. This step really added a lot more details and enhanced the 'petal' texture'
Step 6 Add more detail, shading
The penultimate step. More details, more shading, more enhacing. Darkened the corners fo the background so the flower looked like it might be glowing/really cool
Step 7 Fine tune details
Also made last step extra large so it looks important :D
