Excellent sketch Jacques, great form and structure and the shading giving real life to the tree, you have really shown its struggles with hundreds of years of life, nice one.

Love this characterful tree, which must have witnessed many historical events. You have brought the tree to life with your sketch Jacques.

Your tree looks like a person looking back at us, and getting ready to march along the road!
