Good practice, Kyra. Good to practice making some embossed marks lighter and different sizes. And “random” like you have lower left. Resist the urge to make neat rows or pairs.
Great feather collection. Keep up the good work. Sharpen those pencils when you want to get a really fine, thin feather line out at the edges. Also, like Pam did in the Open Studio demo, you can try holding your pencil far back and toning very softly and patiently to build up soft, smooth layers.
Kyra, this is a great practice page. It could be fun for you to also try the waxed paper lifting technique on these studies. If you haven’t seen that technique yet, you just take a piece of kitchen waxed paper, and put it on top of an area of your colored pencil drawing where you want to lift out some color and use your embossing tool on top of waxed paper. It would be a fun comparison.

Those colors are spot on! Lovely.
