Hi,
I work hard on my Design skills. This is my last drawing. What do you think about it ?
What can I do better ?

Your. scroll is nice and round but your leaves are not constructed correctly.
it would be hard to shade this and make it look nice

get ron smiths book to study ......it will improve your eye for design.
sam also has some great videos

Thank you I got Rons and LeeÂ´s Book but I need moore practice. The last half year i mostly drawed Backbones and scrolls. Since a few weeks now i started to add leaves. IÂ´m not realy happy with the outer leaves the ones at the inside are better I think.
From shading I have no idea never did it and that lesson is far away for me I think

If you don't have a good foundation (leaf strucure or backbone)
your design will fail.
you might have what you think is a cool looking leaf
but if it is not built correctly it will be a ***** to shade

Good advice from Shawn.

I would add the following: The cluster of leaves on the left should be simplified to fewer leaves, and elements become too small where the scroll finishes on the right. The sizes of the elements should be consistent.

ok thank you I will try to do it better next time

You have done absolutely the best thing you can do - taking the time to draw and asking for help improving what you have drawn.

Keep doing that and you will advance far faster than most...
