Finally finished it. It took much longer than i expected and mostly because of the texture. This pine cone wouldn't have been a pine cone without the texture. You can check out previous updates by going here [link]

The purpose of this drawing was to prepare me for the next one. My next drawing will have similar textures as this one and by working on this one it will be an easy transition when i start it. I know its overkill doing a whole new drawing to practice another one, but i can tell you that its a great way to practice. You can see the size of my next drawing will be by going here [link] . I also learned lots about pine cones

The drawing of the serval is 11x14 so you can see how large it will be. The size of the paper ill be using will 30x40. You can see how large it will be and it will be a first for me so im really excited about that one. I would like to thank everyone that has followed the progress on this one and for the support.
