Brian

Great looking design. I really like all the layering of leaves and the folds. The shading really brings it into 3d.

You got any images of the saddles your work is on that you could put up?

You're really getting that transition from white -> pale grey -> grey -> black - fantastic!

If you have a chance, how about a closeup shot of just a couple of leaves?

while I am building a leaf I try to think how I can break it up into smaller sections so that it is easier to shade.
if you build your leaves correctly it is much easier to shade them.

Holy cow! That is beautiful work!!!

I really like how you shaded the back sides of the leaves that curl all the way around!

Thanks!

As you said, not really more lines, just very careful placement. Also some very nice use of crosshatching.
