piña

Being still inspired by nature, I started inspecting the pinecones that fell on the garden outside of my school. I have always had a fascination with pinecones. When I was little I would spend recess inspecting the garden and would try to find the biggest pinecone to bring home with me. I had a collection of the pinecones I found in my own garden. Because of this I choose to draw a pinecone. I tied a piece of string to the pinecone and focused on depicting the depth in the pinecone.
