The top one on the left I know I need to refine my stylus skills! I also think I am too heavy handed with the sepia, suggestions please.

        In reply to - Wendy Hollender commented on a Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board Hi Vanessa, I think just a few very dark accents with a sharp pencil can give you a bit more contrast where needed and also less of a feeling of an outline on the edge of the branches. The edge of a branch can be dark but it needs to start to gradually get lighter quickly so it doesn\'t feel like an outline, but an edge. ]]>                 08c270b1866169a40bbd71fda0d26c16 Vanessa.M.C posted a new activity comment https://drawbotanical.com/activity/p/1018/#acomment-1044 Sat, 07 Jan 2017 01:23:48 -0500 Thank you very much Lise, I have been working further on the sticks and increasing the contrast and they are looking much better, I appreciate your in put.

        In reply to - Lise commented on a Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board It looks really good Vanessa! Maybe analyzing the tones and seeing if you can increase the contrast, a few dark darks and light lights will make it pop. The shadows are nice a light, too, maybe just smoothing them out a little? I always have trouble keeping my shadows from being too dark. In fact, I have trouble with everything getting too dark! I like the variety of twigs you picked out! ]]>                 9e27b8fcacf230851903025cf7d6fd49 Vanessa.M.C and Carrie Pothoven are now friends https://drawbotanical.com/activity/p/913/ Tue, 03 Jan 2017 15:59:13 -0500 0 c71629ba687a239fd63e1eb37c473789 Vanessa commented on a Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board https://drawbotanical.com/activity/p/900/ Tue, 03 Jan 2017 08:16:06 -0500 OMG!
