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.
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.
