Stone and Leaves- ink

Here is a little piece that I did for my Drawing class at school just now. We were supposed to take our little 1 inch by 2 inch viewfinders around campus and sketch a thumbnail drawing of whatever little interesting things we could find. I did 17 but didn't like any of them enough until I recieved some inspiration from one of my friends in my Fantasy Writing class.She had this ring that had several tiny leaves and different sized black circles among the leaves. I loved its design so much that I drew several studies from it right away and it ended up being my final for that assignment. Of course, this is a more abstract version but I do like how it turned out.
