I am Sharing a tree: From start to endHi. Let me share with you my recent drawing. This idea has started by the previous drawing. Where I was gonna fit a tree In. But how to design and draw tree to an extent, where I will be happy with? I had to admit. I do not know how to do it! I went on online discussion places, talked to other artists, especially you guys from here helped me and provides me feedback. but my curiosity attracted also people who love trees! Who spent their time with them and who were that kind to share with my their observation. All informations I started to gather and went to create my own tree. I was very fascinated about making some interesting shapes. A twisted trunk felt right to me. I have gathered my notes and studies I have done in my free time. I am doing it also for my own but for you guys too. To benefit from my effort as well. If you want to become closer to master drawing trees! I hope this will help you. But trees will teach you far more about drawing, than just knowing how to draw trees👍 I would like to say- enjoy. Let me please know if you have any questions, remarks, or feedback. Thank you. Have a great day.
Hey Tom! I like what you have going on here! What immediately jumps out to me is the value of the foreground, middle ground, and background are all very close together which flattens the distance you're creating in the composition. If you squint down the Tree seems to float in the center because it's the darkest element, but the surrounding elements all kind of fuse together without much separation. Pushing the values of the foreground, midground, and background further apart will exaggerate the atmospheric perspective you're creating and connect the tree to the foreground a bit. Desaturating your painting and looking only at the values helps diagnose where you can separate your values further! Hope this helps, keep up the good work!
Hey. Coool! Love your contribution to my work. Thanks a lot. Yes. When taking a step behind and some distance from my work I start to understand together with your feedback. I have edited it already. Hoping it is nicer to look at. And more correct. Yet to be honest, i am not happy with lines. Its too cartoony, less artistic, less expressive. I have some serious understanding of perspective there going on, form- a drawing part. I feel there in my own water. But adding colours, rendering and keep it expressive with rough brush strokes, and still be able to communicate elements of the scene like stones bushes, i find myself in unknown waters... what to do about it? I just feel like I keep doing the same things over and over again expecting different outcome. Thank you so much!
Hi guys! I need your help. Feedback and critique. I believe that any kind of help will help me. I got stuck in this phase of my drawing/ painting. Something is missing. Yet I cannot put a finger on it. What would you change? Add?
Thank you very much
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

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.
