I don’t really like tangles with straight lines,and try to curve them whenever I can. Today Laura challenged us to use only straight lines. I have been playing with pastel pencils lately and thought I’d try out the reds and browns this morning before I go out to garden.
Rather enjoyed it! Surprise. Check out the other submissions. DivaChallenge website

Lovely and warm! Beautifully done!
impeccable shading! you make this pattern look like literal pieces of lined paper lying on top of each other. The combination of shading plus highlighting absolutely makes this piece solid. Good work!
