Aspen

More pen-and-ink practice; this aspen was drawn with a 102 crow quill pen (for the trunk and branches), a Winsor Newton Artist Sable no.1 brush (for the foilage), and for everything else, an ordinary felt tip pen.

I'm getting the hang of nib pens and brushes now. I'm glad I'm incorporating more than just markers and technical pens into my lineart. From a distance, I find it better to draw the leaves as clumps as detail is tricky from so far away. Though I'll need to practice leaves more and that is on my agenda.
