Poplar in the Wind

After giving up on sketching kids at the playground, I looked up to see a huge poplar tree shaking frantically in the stiff breeze. I tried sketching it twice – once with a Lamy fountain pen and Kuretake Brush Writer (left), and then with a Cretacolor Nero pencil highlighted with a Uniball Signo opaque gel pen.
