Pencil practice and a bloody oozing tree

   Working in the pencils again lately trying to get a better feel for them...think I may be finally getting it.  It's weird I've been drawing in pen so much that I never really took into account how much I barely worked ever in pencil until now.  So some pages again and a bloody evil tree for today!  The tree was complete utter randomness.  I somehow drifted toward the dark side while working on it.
