"I finished the drawing of Zion National Park!  This drawing was based on a photograph I took while hiking through a river in Zion last spring. It was probably the coolest hike I have done since we were really walking through thigh high water through sections and surrounded by impossibly tall canyon walls. I must admit though, a portion of the enjoyment was due to the invention of waterproof shoes and pants. It is a wonderfully weird experience to be in a river and not get wet or cold.  I'm glad I did this one in pencil. I've been doing a lot of ink drawings and it was nice to mix it up. I think the soft stone also works better in pencil. I am going to continue some more of these drawings for other places I've been.  Any thoughts on border vs. no border? (Also, I ended up leaving it saying ""Zion"" rather than ""Zion National Park"" which is what I originally intended because it turns out my capital N penmanship is pretty dreadful. I struggled for a long time trying to write a decent N until I decided that just ""Zion"" sounded great. One day, maybe, I will get a good N and I will scan it and save it forever to use in every word that needs an N.) • • • • •  #drawing #zionnationalpark #nationalpark #utah #canyon #drawing #graphite #illustration #illustree #landscape #landscapedrawing #hike #wanderlust #neverstopexploring #travel #nature #river #narrows #artoftheday"
