Pine Cone (Pucker 1)

From a current series of various pine cone studies. In large part an excuse to work out different drawing/painting approaches and to appreciate the exquisite packing that every pine cone embodies. Not sure what type of conifer that this is from, possibly a sequoia, so for now I’m identifying it by the puckery shapes that are seen in each rhomboid-like segment.
