Family Tree Commission

A good friend of mine asked me to draw the tree in his grandmother's backyard. This was the family home in Charlotte. I did two preliminary sketches: one close up with the swing and one of the entire tree. The family decided to go with teh entire tree with details of the yard included.  

The above image is of my progress at about half way. 

Here is the final drawing. It is 14 x 11 inches. This is a giant willow or pin oak tree.
