I have started taking Botanical Drawing I. This is a basic drawing class with the only subject matter being botanicals. The first day we did several 1 min. gesture drawings.
The instructor then brought in an aloe plant. We looked at it and discussed it for 5-10 min. Then, to my dismay, she took it out of the room and told us to draw it. Luckily for me, I am a little familiar with aloes, because the only thing I could really remember was the brown plastic pot and the dead leaves hanging down.

I wouldn't have passed the aloe test! I don't know how you did it without having the plant in front of you. The gesture drawings are interesting -- they're small, though, and I have a hard time seeing them well. Post BIGGER pictures next time! ;-)
