a bit of nature sketching


It’s been rainy and cool around here, but I managed to sketch a couple bits of nature. I love the types of lichen around here — often 3 to 5 varieties on a single branch.


I prefer the huge white magnolias that grow on trees (not in bloom yet) but this shrub variety is interesting to draw — no leaves until after the blossoms fully open.

    1. A fun thing about sketching lichen — or most things in nature, actually — is that it does not need to be exactly like the real thing to be recognizable. No one will know if I accidentally add an extra leaf or odd texture!
