A Sketch of a Tree in about an hour.

Same teacher, different webinar, than last time. This webinar is earlier than the first one I watched, and I prefer the later one; he had the process more refined and didn’t bother with a reference photo.

With a reference photo, I felt my tree didn’t turn out as well as the first one I drew without the reference photo, because even though the “from my imagination tree” didn’t really turnout as I imagined it, I liked it because there wasn’t anything concrete to compare it to - my “imagination tree” updated to match the sketch, while my reference tree just sat there not looking as much like the reference photo as it “should have” …. Which , unless the point of the exercise is to precisely copy the photo, doesn’t matter.

Definitely something to play with as I keep wandering along my sketching journey. 🖊️

a tree that is not too simple and not too realistic can be difficult. Esp. with pencil or ink ….

I think it would fun to try and draw some fantasy trees.

haha yeah… I’m currently drawing a cartoon pine tree using a reference from the owl house. It’s pink and purple, so similar to a fantasy tree?

Yes, sounds cool! 🩷💜
