Good range of tones on both cylinders Fiona. The areas flanking the highlight could be a little lighter so the highlight is not such a strong stripe. Especially on a branch the highlight will usually vary and have breaks, etc. I think the area around the bottom ring (where a twig broke off) the highlight would fade out there. And/or the highlight might curve a little there following the curve of that ring. Nice job!
Thankyou Doug . I appreciate your feedback . I’m new so it’s very helpful . It really helped the the highlight and I do tend to shade on the darker side so I will try that .
