First Exercise Preliminary Sketch

The first exercise calls for a drawing of at least three leaves both in pencil and well as pen and ink. Multiple dissimilar subjects is a new endeavor and I was quite intimidated. A few instructional pages in this week's assignments proved useful--a rough block in of all objects, followed by a bit of refinement, and only then to the details. It really helps!

It's getting late tonight so tomorrow I'll drop in the veins and get started on the final line work.
