Welcome to the ArtFeed Clayton! Nice job on this branch segment! The branch has good color saturation, but it is so dark overall that it has lost some of the range of tones. Because of that the branch is missing some of it’s form. With the horizontal marks on the bark, be sure that they curve up when they are at the outside edges rather than being straight. Curving them will convey that they curve around to the back. Easy things to correct.
