SOFT-LEAD CHARCOAL PENCIL SKETCH


An artist is ever seeking another subject to draw.  I discovered a lovely little leaf nestled in the blades of grass that had high contrast light and shadow.  I used a soft-lead charcoal pencil to really add contrast to that light.  I took an ant's eye view of it and suffered only minor mosquito bites for the effort.  Every time I scratch the itch I will think of this sketch!

I like the abstractness of the leaf and grass. It took me a minute to see it, but the light and dark are striking!
