Homegrown elephant garlic drawing done in graphite pencil (H and HB). I enjoy drawing little roots and entanglements---following each one to its logical conclusion. A little OCD, I know.

    They’re definitely eye catching, those roots. Good sense of mass in the bulbs, too.

    @Whitepyne Thanks. It's always the challenge of drawing little features before the plant wilts or changes. I'm not terribly fast doing those details....so it's always a race.

Still playing with ballpoint pens. This time, I tried a “scribble” drawing, holding the pen way back on the shaft and making little circles and scribbles….then layering them over and over. It was actually very liberating and fun. I did this on a Canson sketch paper….which didn’t wear through, but did buckle a little towards the end.
