You’re on fire. 🙂 Okay, good leaf! Make sure you give me good, clear highlights, and then look at your leaf and see if you can tone down some secondary veining – they probably aren’t that bright yellow throughout. You can tone over some of them with your shadow pencils where the shadow goes through – chrome oxide or sepia? And tone some down with other greens – you can use watercolour if you’ve embossed. I like the serrated margins and the curve of the main vein and tip. Nice flow.
Thank you. Shading over the veins helped. I haven’t started using watercolor yet and don’t have an embosser but will keep those in mind for future efforts.
