Laua`e ferns
I was missing graphite this week so thought I'd try my hand at a quick study of values using my Cretacolor ecologic with a super duper fat lead. What a challenge that was! I loved it because it forced me to work in sweeps. I don't know if I like this at all but I had fun with it. This drawing is a patch of laua`e fern.

Awesome work Joan. I love the graphite and understand your need to use it.
OMG! This is STUNNING! Really, I love it Joan. (I am bowing at your throne as I type this.) Wish we could draw ferns together. Just looking at this makes me feel peaceful.
I love it!! It certainly does have a relaxed, free feeling about it. Well done, Joan ~ :)
Thanks Teri ... I actually miss it when I don't draw with it. I guess that's why it's my preferred medium.
Kate ... You made me smile from ear to ear. We will have the chance to do that someday. :)
Serena ... Natural things make me feel serene. Maybe that's what's reflected in this drawing. Thanks for the comment.
Fantastic! I really like this!
What a beautiful value study Joan. I agree with Serena and Kate - it's a perfect spot of calm.
Don't you LOVE the fat graphite leads?
Great results.
Beautiful. This kind of work leaves me in awe; the sort of thing I would never tackle!

Thanks Brian, Juj, D, France, and Marie! Loved the fat lead ... I felt like a kid again with a thick crayon in my hand!
Wow Joan, I can't believe I've missed out on so many of your brilliant drawings, you've been busy! And of course I love every single one of them -- you're inspiring me all over again.
i love this
(did you have to mention that creatacolor ecologic? i had to go looking to see what you meant - now i think i need one ;-)
Jo...very nice! I suppose I'm still quite puzzled as to why no one commented on the mongoose hidden partially behind the lower right hand leaf. I found it to be really quite incredible how you managed to blend it in with the background. Again...quite beautiful! Oh yeah...Chelsie says hi!
