I chose to draw a weed using biro to show the different, interesting, and beautiful textures and patterns found on something so often disregarded. My curiosity piqued, I was intrigued: how many objects of beauty do we throw away in our lives as ugly or useless? Using biro means that the piece is solely focused on forms, shapes and shading of the plant, leaving it in monochrome, revealing a beauty different from any coloured piece.
