beginnings of Leaf sketches

During brainstorming, I thought of several ideas that reminded me of a leaf. A vase, an apple, a gutter...they were all places that I've seen leaves and that could serve as a "place" for a leaf, but they weren't quite giving the leaf enough spotlight.

After visiting the YKBK site http://www.yakubiuk.com/wordpress/
I couldn't help but love this pen work that the artist did. I've done multiple pen & ink pieces in my drawing days & I know how time consuming & frustrating they can be, so I was completely in awe with each piece I viewed on the website.
