Birch Tree Trunks I - A Work in Progress

I would like to wish everyone peace, good health and prosperity for the New Year!

I started to work on this drawing that I had sketched on location a couple of years ago (see post on 11 June 2015).

With a pencil I defined all the lines on the first tree trunk and then inked them in and added all the "whip marks.

On the next tree trunk I drew in some curled bark added a branch and some scar marks.














Next I inked in the markings on this tree trunk and again added in the whip marks where I felt they needed to be applied.

I started to put in the markings on the third tree trunk, but then we had company arrive and it was time to put it away.

I will post this drawing at a later date once I have completed the third birch tree trunk.

Thank you for looking at my artwork.
