trees

September 22nd, 2005 | Category: Ballpoint, Everyday Matters, Pen and Ink

I didn’t study today even though I should have. I drew these trees for Everyday Matters Challenge #15 instead. I am not very happy with the foliage though. I got impatient and the leaves turned into one big mass of crosshatching. I am looking forward to drawing trees in the winter when I can concentrate on the branches.

    I think these are very well done! The shadows really anchor the trees and give a feel for the shape of the ground.

    I like the way the lines in the leaf structure mirror the hatching shadows on the ground. It looks very dreamy.

    Smooth stroke is beautiful. I like it.
