Fuchsia in Coloured Pencil - Part 1

A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.

Here is the first part of the Fuchsia tutorial where we will focus on the leaves. There is some nice deep green shades with some contrasting bits of red on the foliage of this plant.

There are two reference photos for this tutorial because the branch that I picked did not have an open flower on it, so I made a composition up from two parts of the plant so we would have a more complete and pleasing final image.
