I worked a little more on the leaves. I did it only using just colored pencils. In the end I used the ivory pencil for burnishing, but I am a little bit hesitant about it. I feel I loose the texture of the pencil stroke – which I like so much – as it washes the colors. Maybe I just have to get used to it. View
Looking great! I would just suggest some more layers with really sharp colored pencils to define the edges, especially on the back of the leaf, and maybe try some burnishing–practice first on some tone bars on another sheet of paper. I think the front of the leaf is especially successful here. You maintained all the details from the grayscale leaf and enhanced them with the addition of color.
Thank you for your feedback, I will try it.
