Leaf drawing assignment

With great care taken to produce the finest, representational, realist drawing you have ever in your life. First, chooses a leaf.   Think about light, depth and the marks you will use to make this drawing- DRAWING not a SKETCH!!! Show me how the leave curls, folds, and changes tone. I want to see depth.  I want to see a background and I want to see a shadow or two!
