Ink Lettuce

Quick ink drawing of a lettuce leaf. It's an alright picture - you can see what it is, and the ragged edges make for an interesting drawing. The positioning on the paper is no good though! I've never been a big fan of black and white drawing, as I don't think you can get a very realistic result - the lesson from these drawings is that something this simple (without even lifting the pen much) can still give you an idea of what the subject is. Pleasingly few lines describing a very complex form.
