Gorgeous leaves William! The front and back read so well! It looks like you really studied your leaf and the veining is great. Everything is very realistic!
Ooooh. Very nice, William. You did a beautiful job. One little thing about the underside of the leaf . . . You did a nice job showing how those veins stand up on the underside. The midvein is usually the most prominent and higher up than the secondary veins. So those secondary veins would be a little darker in value than the midvein. It may just be the photo, but to my eye, it looks like those secondary veins are the same value as the midvein where they meet. They could also be narrowed up just a bit. But this is really nit picking. The leaves are beautiful.
Tonal study for the leaves lessons. Suggestions and criticism welcome! Thanks. Bottom line drawings are for adding color.

Thanks Pam – I didn’t see this comment until after I finished adding color, but I agree and am grateful for the help.
