Can you please explain what you mean by me having a lack of gradient exactly for that leaf? Like, what is the difference between the shade of the detail (I'm assuming the texture cast shadows) and the shade of the leaves? I'm afraid I don't understand.
turns out I was the one wrong! what I did in my assignment is that I'd go around the leaf with my pen and add the details, highlighing all of it in the process and making my drawings visually noisy. here is an example of what I'm talking about http://imgur.com/gallery/JkuKHX9
when I wrote the first comment here I'd initially thought I was adding some kind of gradient to make things look more natural. But even that gradient would look the exact opposite.
the point is: your detailing is correct
Alright then. Thanks for your help anyway.
These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
