          this is so beautifully drawn, I can see why you wouldn’t want to tear it apart before drawing the parts!

            These are baby, wild grapes. I might leave this study and do another on larger paper and in color.

            Ok, this time I erased some of the layers of color with my colored pencil eraser went over the highlight with the white pencil and added some burnt siena here and there. Highlight looks a bi tmore prominent.

            Here is the update. I practically ground the white pencil into the paper. I’d have to use a white art pen or gouache to make it lighter.
