The problem with starting with the detail and working to the big picture is that I don’t always know what the big picture is supposed to be. I see and remember a lot of details but it seems that the big picture is often a bit vague. I’m told that that’s a symptome of autism. Maybe it is.
This is a scetch of a nettle plant that my downstairs neigbour has in his garden. He has a problem with his feet which make it very hard for him to walk. So I don’t see al lot of him working in his garden.
Four leafs

Looking down I noticed that although a nettle isn’t the kind of plant you would want to have in your garden, it has a very nice structure. Both the shape of the leaves as the way they are attached to there stems, makes them very suited for a drawing.
But only now when I try to draw the nettle I notice that I haven’t seen the stem. I’ve no idea how the leaves are attached to the stem. The shape of the leaves is about right. But I have to look again to see how to attache them to there stem.
