Love that smooth toning! So controlled! I really feel the curve of the leaf. The veins are looking good, but I’d be a bit more careful of rendering how they taper toward the edge of the leaf. Also on the wider ones, think about it as a cylinder – add a shadow and highlight.
I agree with Katy. This is looking really nice. I think you can get in there with a really sharp colored pencil, and narrow up those veins a bit, especially toward the leaf margins. Also, there are a few veins (esp. the little ones on the lower right) that are very straight and rigid – just something to pay attention to when drawing leaves. You don’t want your veins to look unnaturally stick straight. This is off to a really great start, and I think a sharp pencil can bring it to the next level. Very nice work.
