Whole Walnut Study
Ah, squirrel brains! I give up!
It all started this morning while I was cracking about two dozen walnuts, walnuts that I personally saw shaken from a tree. One came out whole; I photographed it and tried to draw it in Procreate. I got so far and simply stopped. Time was flying. Too much time.
Walnuts have always reminded me of squirrel brains. That hasn’t changed.

I started this illustration over two beers and under ten conversations last night at the 17th Street Public House. I finished it on my side of our Ragsdale king size bed. I had snapped an iPhone picture of the subject beforehand and used it as a side-by-side reference for a free-right-hand drawing in Procreate; my left hand facilitated the beer delivery.
