I drew these elementals as a series of large live drawings over several ren faire weekends some years back. Each one was 18x24, done with a mix of graphite, conte, and charcoal

Had a nice day walking around Galveston. Paid special attention to trees, taking mental notes on textures and how light falls on them. Later, sitting at a coffee shop I sketched this without reference, keeping in mind the things I'd noticed through the day. Pretty happy with the result
