Hi all! I was fortunate to be in Wendy’s recent Find Your Flow Botanical course and felt the need to continue the subject matter. With spring right around the corner, I am excited by all the possibilities! View
Tracie, I agree that perhaps by making the tertiary veins less prominent the edges of these leaves will look more realistic. I also recommend doing this lesson again with a leaf that has a different structure, just to practice on something where those “scalloped” edges are not as visible in the subject itself. I think you’ve done a nice job shading and getting some good, saturated green colors. Leaves just take lots of practice. You are on the right track!
