Hen and Chick Value Drawing

       This is a value drawing close up of a hen and chick plant.  I choose this plant to be my subject because I really wanted to focus on the layering of the leaves and also the  fact that each of the leaves were slightly curled inward.   I do believe that I accomplished the illusion of layering (which gives this drawing depth) but, not so much on the leaves being curled.

     Inthis sketch I also wanted to try and see if stokes of lines on the same plane going in opposite directions according to the subjects shape, would give each leave a sense of movement.
