Holes are so tricky! We often counsel in the beginning to just leave blemishes and holes out – ignore them. This is a great drawing and you are really going in the right directions. Your branch, petioles, buds are all looking fantastic. Keep up the good work. Great observation of accurate connections and shapes.

Thank you @maureenclare.

Thanks @doug-milne, I will do what you have suggested.

Hi Ethel- the one you like best looks really good! Now that you have accomplished a good sketch the next move would be to start doing a measured drawing. If you create a rectangle that is the length and width of the leaf you can start measuring where the different parts are located and paying attention to their angles, etc.. Nice job!!!!

What a fantastic model Ethel!

A challenging subject — glad you persevered and had fun with it. It’s cool to see your leaf exploration pages!

I don’t find drawing easy and drawing a dried leaf is a challenge for me, but FUN.

My model…. I love dried leaves💕….. they hold their poses for days.😊

Beautiful work, Sam — looking forward to seeing this as it progresses.

Sorry that I only posted works in progress this month!

Thanks Sam, for your encouraging remarks and tips to get my cast shadow just right. Will do!🙏 Thanks to Pam and Doug also for your support.😊

Lovely tomatoes. The cut one looks so juicy!
