Pine Cones

This spring has been early and unseasonably warm.  Which is OK by me.  While cleaning up yard debris I came across some pine cones and decided to draw them in my journal.  I didn't think it would be so challenging as it was.  The white pine cones different angles and openness I found difficult to capture and it took me several attempts and days for me to draw.  The red pine compactness made it much easier to draw.  I found myself trying to draw a pine cone and focusing too much on thinking instead of drawing what I was seeing. Spring coming this early is going to make drawing outdoors nicer.
