This drawing was for my Botanical Drawing class. I was really struggling with it due to the (self imposed) pressure of it being "for a class". I then remembered that there was an EDM challenge to draw a vegetable. So I decided that this was an EDM challenge instead of for class which made it much easier to handle (go figure). I didn't finish the stem because the artichoke gave out on me before I could finish. Overall I am pleased with the way it came out and am contemplating trying one in colored pencil.
