Hello all,

This is my 1st study assignment of a branch. Drawing the leaf buds took me a lot of effort. Still, I think it turned out pretty well. If you have any tips, I would love to hear them.

A wonderful illustration James! Amazing detail work! I see a cast shadow on the pink pan, but not on the ladle or shoe horn and I would expect them to also have cast shadows.

Thank you for the feedback. I like the idea of attaching the whole peach to another branch. I started this composition in the Peaches workshop last year.
