I passed by the Chinese chestnut gatherers this time and went on to a tree beside the Planetarium, where three huge gaggles of schoolchildren - two French and one English - nearly ploughed me over on the path before stopping to look at what I was drawing.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/greenwichpk_20oct10-1f9382b4e1.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI took photos of a few stages in the drawing, just in case anyone wants to see how it looks in progress. I didn't get to finish the picture, but I think I could easily spend a whole year drawing this tree, it has so much detail.\\r\n\\r\n\u003C!--more Photos under the cut-->\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/greenwichpk20oct_steps-e4adb8b65a.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nI noticed last night that The Daily Crosshatch is interviewing amazing comics creator \u003Cb>Drew Weing\u003C/b> (\u003Ca href=\"http://drewweing.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">drewweing\u003C/a>) about his latest book, \u003Ci>\u003Cb>Set to Sea\u003C/i>\u003C/b>.
