Gorgeous Jill! Autumn leaves are such good subjects. The colors and details are sublime!

Wow, Jill! It is such a pleasure to watch you tackle new subjects. Really nice work here. The colors, veining, details… love it. As you work with leaves with toothed margins, remember to let there be a little bit of looseness and randomness in places… if the margins feel too regular or rigid, they can lose that delicate “leafy” feel. I think the place that the margins are working the best for you here is along the bottom right edge. Those “teeth” feel the most “realistic” to me because they are not all the same size and they have a softness to them. (That’s so picky, but do you see what I mean?) You are doing a great job, though, on the margins, making the “teeth” gradually decrease in size as they reach the tips. That’s working brilliantly.
I love that, Jill! Love the veining and all the texture. Beautiful!
