Study Guide Cover

The art teacher of mine asked if I could draw the cover picture to the autumn newsletter of our school (later it was changed as a study guide but what ever, I was asked to draw a cover for that autumn newsletter) and she told that a rowan branch could be a good topic. I got a model branch to use, kept it in a same position with one hand same time than I was drawing the scetch of my picture with the other hand (that was about to kill my wrist and few fingers!) and after that I did the final lineart and erased the pencil lines. That time I didn't have a lightbox yet (now I use the glass surfaced table that used to be on the balcony with a lamp and it's damn handy that way). The original was A4 sized and done on white copy paper but they took the original and didn't give it back to me so I only have this printed version. It's A5 sized and it was printed on yellow paper. I did the whole thing for free. And they didn't even credit me!

China ink, a real branch as a model, white copy paper, several hours.
