Getting tone and depth in detail

I chose a dried leaf as it is that time of year and I like leaves.  Here is my second attempt to draw this subject!  I found it difficult to know in what sequence I should use the different softness of pencil.  To see the subtle differences in tone, to get the darker areas more distinctive and in this second attempt I had to make a deliberate attempt to consider marks more carefully ie with the end result in mind.   Obvious, but I was getting lost.
