It looks gorgeous. You're so good at highlighting texture, how did you achieve that?

Thank you!! I really appreciate it. For the texture, I am mostly just following the lessons here, especially the ones about drawing in the shadows. I also am a big fan of John Muir Laws nature journaling videos and tutorials - he has a lot on drawing animals and plants - and Claudia Nice's "Creating Textures with Pen and Ink" book - super helpful and all focused on drawing from nature!

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
