Hi Hendrika- this is a really nice study. Although I like the looks of it very much the stems (in particular) appear as if they are outlined in black. This gives it a very graphic look, but probably not a true botanical representation. This is just an observation because it is the graphic quality of your work that I love. Keep up the good work!
Hendrika, this is a nice drawing! Good subtle highlights, cast shadow, and surface texture! My only suggestion would be: next time you’re drawing something with this much contrast (dark branches with new, green growth), I’d try to keep those greens much brighter and fresher; just to emphasize that they are new growth! 🙂 Great work.

thanks Doug – that’s helpful.
