It took awhile for you to drop into the zone with this one. But then you focused your skills and pulled together a brilliant drawing, Allison! Your study sketches show looser, confident contour lines as you searched for the form of the plant and laid down accurate proportions for your finished value drawing. Excellent work in using gray tones to show the values of light and dark greens of the plant's leaves, especially where the highlighted edges of leaves meet the darker background shadows. Depicting these contrasting values is what brings dramatic depth to your composition. I'm really liking the subtle shading of the curved underside of the foreground leaf and where you used the kneaded eraser to lift highlights, blend tones, and add textures. Keep exploring ways to use expressive tones and lines to show your impression of things.
