Hey Vanessa, this branch looks great. One suggestion would be to tone down the cast shadow so that the branch is the star of the show and the cast shadow is not fighting for center stage. How might you do that?
Thanks Patty, I love texture and the interesting formations of bark.

@asimplelife Vanessa, this is coming along nicely! Your textures at the edges of the stick are my favorite. I think Wendy’s suggestion about the shadow is a good one, and I may add that the cracks in the bark, while interesting and well-done, kind of overpower this branch for me. I think they could be a little more subtle, either by darkening the branch overall, or lightening and thinning the cracked lines? Great work!!

The little cracks in the branch give this a unique personality all its own.
Thanks Wendy, I will do that.

Thanks Vern, you have opened my eyes. I will adjust accordingly.
