This is lovely! The red and green speak to me of this time of year! I also really like the shine you are getting on the leaves. I think the curling leaf seems a bit too bent. That front leaf edge could curve up some, so you’d see less of the the back side of the leaf.
Thanks Katy , I agree re the curling. leaf .I need a bit more practice . I haven’t been doing long only since September snd often get tied up in knots with certain skills 😂
Curling leaves are a challenge, but you’ve got the concept. Almost there! It’s just a matter of careful observation and practice. Remember the 3 lines: the front edge of the leaf, the midrib, and the back edge of the leaf.
You’re doing great, Fiona! You can practice curling leaves by using a ribbon–that’s one of my favorite ways to practice. Another note: I know this is tough to do on a small berry, but if you can scoot those highlights over to the left side, rather than in the center, your berries will look rounder and more realistic. Awesome work-this could be a holiday card! 🙂

Keep up the good work, Fiona!
