Uprooted Stump

3.5" x 5" sketchbook

My first outing with the Staedtler Mars Lumograph black drawing pencils. They're really darker than regular graphite; this is just the HB and a straight scan, no digital enhancement.

Found this uprooted stump down by the creek, where they're putting in a new jogging/biking/walking path. It was 95F and I'm 70 yr, old and out of shape, or I might have gotten more of this done. Was fun though.
