Hi guys! How is it going?? Thank you to all of who has seen my previous trees attempts and for all the feedback that I have received from. Which was extremely helpful! I was able to make an animated tree and has made a special device from a recycled wood and dough roller- see in attachment. That was so much fun. Nevertheless - here I would like to share my drawings that I try to push further. It is just a tree, but somehow, there is so much to learn from. and I keep learning. Let me share here with you my another work in process! What do you think? Thanks

I jumped in it once again and tried to improve it. It is kind of funny. I like more sketch. What do you think? Thx

This is your best tree, but as far as the colors go, I have some suggestions. To begin with, you used shadows in the leaves, but didn't on the trunk. Also, you could use some dappled light on the trunk and some highlights in the leaves. I did a quick paint over to show you what I mean, I hope it helps :)

I have been already following advice from Melanie, your have added more improvement to it. I have arrived to this drawing. Thank you very much🙏

I've been enjoying seeing each iteration of your trees! They keep getting better. Nice work. This one is particularly strong, with good balance and shape design. As for the colors, I think this is a good start. You could try doing a few greyscale value studies to work out the light and dark areas to support the form of the tree. Just like with the design, it may take some experimentation to find what works, so be curious and exploratory and enjoy the process.

Ou. Thank you for your kind words. I am so glad you have been enjoying my posts/ trees. So good to hear that. Your feedback immidiatelly resonated with me.I cannot wait for the next moment I will sit with my tablet, to do my greyscale. It is an interesting remark in a sense (let me bring this up) of doing first greyscale and then colour it? I have seen a tutorial where they recommended strongly not colour over greyscale painting. And Why? Because To avoid,,muddy,, feeling. Since that I paint right away with colours.

I took the previous feedbacks that I have received from you. Thank you very much for them, that was very very helpful. Thank you! I spent days with sketching. Understanding the form. Which has improved I must say, but. It is not yet my second nature. So it is not going that fast, when draw. Yet I try to be loose, slow, and enjoy drawing. well. I took again a tree here. Because I love to draw them. So much to learn from them as well. And I have ended up with lineart, that I was quitte happy. But! Somehow colours made it less attractive and it was obvious a part, where I struggled with and started to loose patience and confidence. I would like to ask you for your feedback. Tips, do you recognise this problem too? Anything that crosses your mind. Thank you very much! cheers, Tom.

A few days ago I have posted here my tree drawing where I was really nicely surprised by so many feedbacks I have received. I have been reading them over and over again. While I started to study more about twisted forms, trees and contours already. That made it possible for me to draw this tree. Am I completely satisfied with a result? No😑😆 It became pretty obvious that my weakness is gesture. And I think, I have not managed to move even an inch there. What do you think? I will be very happy for any critique/ feedback Thank you very much

Ok. I have been finding a way how to have a control over a form- let’s say a tube that you twist around. https://ibb.co/dLGSjbc It is not that difficult when it stays straight. Front plane become side plane Side plane become a back Back plane become the other side And so on… But what is going to happen if the form is changing the direction? Like that? How to connect it?🤔 That is so fat I have got.
Tom Romaniuk
Ok. So I have a question. I made this rough sketch. Having a tree trunk and barks wrapping around. I am having a hard time to find a constructive solution how to keep barks wrappi g around when tree trunk tilts, leans, changing the direction etc. What am I lacking? Or not seeing? Thank you
