Love the delicacy and range of colors here, Susan. I agree with Wendy that you could maybe go a bit darker/more saturated, but use a really sharp pencil to keep those details in there! Great work.
Thanks, Vern. So, should I use Sepia to darken the places on the leaf that are away from light source? Thank you for your comments! Susan

Susan, Yes, sepia for larger dark areas, or even a brown or black verithin pencil if you’re wanting more fine lines and control (at the edges, in the veining, etc). And maybe feather some tones in toward those white highlights a bit more so the white areas are smaller and more irregular?
