Monolith

I was waiting for a friend at the UMass Sunwheel and sketched one of the monoliths used to track astronomical events.

These roughhewn granite stones are good sketching subjects for practicing measurement and proportion because their shapes are pretty arbitrary - no preconceived armature to fall back on. 

Pen and ink wash drawing toned paper of roughhewn granite monolith with sunlight raking across its jagged surfaces.
