really struggle with getting the secondary veins fine enough, especially with pencil. This is a poinsettia, so very dark and thick veins, but I think still too thick?
Poinsettias do have very prominent veins, but they still do taper somewhat from the primary center vein out to the edges. Your veins on the top that are the secondary veins to the left of the primary vein seem wider than their counterparts on the right side of your center vein. In some areas you have the secondary vein going directly up to the edge rather than breaking off in to even finer veins near the edges. Leaves can be the trickiest part of a drawing to render accurately and with a couple of alterations you will be there.
I struggle so much with veins…I can’t seem to keep my point sharp enough or when I get a point, I then seem to layer too much on and it becomes shiny and harder to bo back. I’m working on my technique but you’re right re veins. the bane of my existence these days 🙂 I’ll keep working…thanks
