Description
“The first real leaf is a new idea…it has to work harder than everything above it, all the while enduring a misery of shade.”It's a quote from a book I'm reading right now, 'Lab Girl' by Hope Jahren, a geobiologist at the University of Hawaii. It's her life story that features her work, plants, science and personal life. I haven't finished it yet, but it's a real inspiration for me
Here's some sketching I did while thinking about the book
Coloured pencils on paper.

Great piece, you've got that pencil down pat!
I remember in "the 70's" you were hard pressed to find the range of colors in pencil as you do now. And then be taken serious. Pencil works now taken just great to travel with! Paper, a bag of Pencils and a Eraser, what more?
