Steemit Engagement Challenge WOX Community S6W3: Drawing Trees

in hive-185836 •  2 years ago  (edited)

Thanks for organising this. I've not drawn anything seriously for a long while, hence this challenge is really enjoyable.

A big thanks to @ranartblog and his blog post:

Especially loved the tip on how to quickly draw leaves. That part is usually my most hated part as I often stuck with the "how much details to include" dilemma.

The process

Started by scrolling through Pixabay for photos to draw. I had to scroll till page 4 to finally find a tree that is challenging, yet not overwhelming in details technicality.

I began sketching the outline of the trunk, trying my best to get the proportion of the dimensions right.

The most part of the trunk were done by random-more-or-less vertical strokes to emulate the actual patterns of the bark.

Then I sketched out the edges of bulk of the leaves out. This is in hope of testing out the quick-draw method for the leaves.

It's a little fine and light, but you should see it more clearly if you downloaded the actual image.

The artwork

Things to improve

  • End of leaves
  • Depth of field
  • Smudging
  • Ratio of the dimensions

Trees in the Fog, You chose a difficult task, but you did a great job!

Thanks for the compliments ☺️☺️

You are welcome!

This is really good.
I love the texture on the front tree, and how the far trees are with less texture (atmospheric perspective.
The leaves are great too and abstract.
I would take care to see there the edges of the leaves and tree trunk are not bold (there are no lines in nature).
Great job!

Thanks for the advice 😊

The leaves edges are definitely looking to improve on. And for the lines on the trunk will definitely pay more attention 👍👍

I looked at your profile. You can take pictures and draw. The mistake is that you make very short posts... one photo and often no text at all.

I won't reveal a big secret... curators choose more time-consuming posts to support. There is a guideline for 3 or more photos/images and 300 words. Of course, no one exactly does it, but it's worth focusing on. You're not exactly new to the platform :)

Noted. Thanks for the advice. 👌👌👌
