Bigleaf Maple Leaf
Here is the completed drawing for my dried and curling Bigleaf Maple leaf. When fresh off the tree it would have been too big for my 7" x 7" (17.8 cm x 17.8 cm) sketchbook, but with a little time and patience, most of it eventually just fit within those dimensions. They truly are big leaves!
Stippling on a Bigleaf Maple Leaf
The stippling is complete on my next leaf, a Bigleaf Maple. It is very easy for me to get caught up in all the stippling. I know that I will be adding color on top of this so I don't have to be too exact, but it is tempting to just keep on adding more and more dots!
