Hi. 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.
Great work! Trees are always a wonderful subject!
The drawings and the design of the tree are great! The two things that stand out to me in the painting though, are the contrast, like it needs a bit more saturation and contrast between the light and the shadow. So if its digital you can try and play with the levels and see what works for your tastes.
Also now that you have practiced designing trees, you can try and design the composition that you have there. There are a lot of repetitive shapes, especially with the stones. You can try to make some more round, others more rocky. The trees in the background struggle from the same problem. The easiest way to design a composition is to use object in the painting that work like arrows towards your main subject, in your case a flower in the foreground or the stones themselves could do the job. The two things I noticed, if you happen to seek a more painterly look, are the edges, soften more edges, like the outlines of the tree, things in the background and things in the foreground and don't be afraid to overlap your shapes. It is the easiest way to create depth.
I hope that helps, and if painting or illustration is not important for you, feel free to ignore all the text as the drawings seems perfect to me.
