Succulents in Graphite Pencil

Sorry, I can't figure out how to turn the image!!
This was my first attempt using graphite pencils and I learned quite a bit of different skills. I'm still a bit confused as to how to make the back edges of the back leaves as they fade into the background. I'm also a bit unsatisfied with the right edge of the pot at the bottom. But I found I was getting quite fatigued and just wanted to be done!
