For this assignment we were asked to create a leaf with a water droplet on it in illustrator.  I feel like my knowledge of illustrator grew a lot from this project.  I found this project interesting because the task that was given was very simple, but that left a lot of room for error.  I later did a new iteration of this leaf, and I liked the second result much better.   I would say my biggest strength of this project was my use of gradients on the leaf, it made it feel a lot less flat, and more 3 dimensional. I included the 2nd iteration below. :)
