Look for the areas where you can show contrast.

We often counsel in the beginning to just leave blemishes and holes out – ignore them. This is a great drawing and you are really going in the right directions. Your branch, petioles, buds are all looking fantastic. Keep up the good work. Great observation of accurate connections and shapes.
