The Translucence of Leeks (Pen and Ink Exercise)

The Translucence of Leeks (Pen and Ink Exercise), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

Here's another little pen-and-ink exercise, done on a 3.5 inch square "Zentangle tile" that came with my new set of pens. I did this drawing late this afternoon, just before I started cooking dinner, which might be why I came up with design elements inspired by leeks (which I actually used to cook dinner last night). The title refers not only to the fact that leeks become translucent when sautéed, but also to the fact that the lines began to cross as I drew so I decided to make the leeks translucent.
