One thing I found interesting copying these drawings - I need to take more care in taking photographs so they are square on as many of these pictures were quite foreshortened. Sometimes this isn't possible if you take photographs in museums where the work is angled, but generally there is some control.  The other thing,  some pictures were very plain and boring and others much too complex.  I actually really quite like the ones of lichen and twigs as they are quite funky.  It will be interesting to experiment and see how they work.
