You are off to a great start Erin! The stem and fruit look wonderful and seem completed to me. The leaves are almost there. The two, large center leaves need more dark and mid-range tones to give them definition. Thinking of where the light hits a leaf, there is a dark side of the main vein and a light side of a main vein. Right now, each side of your leaves are too similar. Saying there is a dark side and a light side is a simplistic answer and I would recommend that you check out Wendy’s leaves in her books or videos or other examples on line. Leaves don’t have to have a bright highlight if they are not shiny, but definitely a highlight where the color is lighter than the rest of the leaf. Once you finish the detail drawings at the bottom you may want to add a leaf in between the two large center leaves. The negative space is throwing me a bit, but it might be okay when the page is complete. Great job!
