Yes, I know this is blog post is being published in April, but keep in mind many of us wrote our A to Z blog posts in advance, and I just happened to compose this blog post during the month of March. It was quite liberating to work on the A to Z blog posts in any which letter order that struck my fancy, and I was excited to finally finish the Christmas tree illustration I had started back in December. It was a simple illustration and I have since lost the green marker I started it with, so I decided to finish this drawing with a different green marker and colored pencils to give the pine needles a bit of depth.
