Drawing updates

I'll be doing a drawing practice recommended by my friend Susan, an excellent artist, tomorrow.  It's using dark pencil for shadows and a white pencil for highlights on toned paper.  It seems like a good thing to practice doing.

But this evening, after a long (but excellent) outing to Jardins de Metis, harvesting and processing more apples, and shopping for weekend guests, I was happy just to do some updates to previous drawings done this summer, adding emphasis with a dark permanent pigment pen.

I liked the improvements, over their previous look.  That's what practice is about, too.
