Mischa, thank you so much for posting these beautiful drawings! Every one of them is exquisite. The proportions, the roundness of the forms, and the textures are all sensitively observed and described.
Your comment--"When drawing, almost anything, one can fudge here and there like where to place the branch on a tree. Not so when drawing people or even animals."--is so important. I have found that the training of my eye to see the figure accurately is an ongoing training for landscape painting. I may choose to put the branch in a different place, or simplify something in a landscape, but I have much more control over the decision.
