Plant Sketch

This morning I had a few minutes spare, so decided to do a little sketching practice. I used a thick leaded, blunt pencil, held with a loose underhand grip, I made a sketch in 15 minutes in a lined notebook. The original image is approx. 3.5" (76mm) wide. Later I took a photo of the image and gave it the full treatment in Adobe Lightroom and NIK-Colorfx-Pro. I like the result and wish I had used plain paper for the sketch.
