Good work, Yahya. This is a very nice leaf portrait. I like your colours and the way you have shown shaded area on the outer left and to the right of the main vein. Your shading looks nice and soft. Your cast shadow is also done nice and softly. I think the cast shadow would come out a bit more to the right of the right leaf edge. On your next one, try leaving some highlights that are entirely paper, and then carefully tone toward the highlights, like we do when practicing toning spheres or cylinders. Leaving some white of the paper in the highlight gives the drawing a fuller range of values and more contrast – makes a stronger drawing. Very nice leaf here. Well done.
