I have a question, I asked it on Discord, but I never got an answer:
I'm struggling with how my constructions don't match the references of the plants and how that ends up making the leaf-edges feel completely wrong... Is this normal?
I have experience painting from observation, so I'm sure that is what is throwing me off here, because I see how my drawing in no way resemble the reference... This makes me feel like my attempts are total failures very early in my progress.
I end up trying to tweak the mistakes and that creates a lot of clutter since I am not allowed to use an erasable medium

Awh thank you! Yeah, I might finish it digitally after the promptathon :D

Color and Light by James Gurney
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
