2B of not 2B, to be I think. Good drawing Carole.

Love the bark.

Beautifully drawn. Your lines really catch the texture of the tree.

"or not 2B" - sorry Carole, couldn't resist! The bark looks lovely, in fact I am surprised that dark is a 2B. Just noticed John has said the same (great minds and all that.....)

Old trees are one of my favourite subjects for drawings and photo's, Carole. This is really beautiful.

Nice line work Carol and you have really used the softer pencil to good effect to give that sence of depth and shadow in the hollows, nice one.

Much appreciated thank you for your encouragement. I have a selection of the cheap Boldmere pencils, they are really good I think.
