What I do when I'm not workin on my trees...

 

[JudyB]

so is this a sketch of one of your trees? forgive me if it's a photo, there's just something more artistic looking about this image...

 

[Redwood Ryan]

That's a drawing all right, and if it's making you question whether or not it's a real tree, it's doing its job. Beautiful drawing.

 

[chappy56]

Thank you gentlemen.
I wish it was my tree. And I wish I could give credit to whose it really is.
Its one of the trees from Stone Lantern's calendar this year. All the information is written in Chinese.

 

[chappy56]

Ooops, sorry Judy...

 

[tmmason10]

Wow, really nice drawing. I wish I had these skills it looks like fun.

 

[JudyB]

No worries Chappy, very nice detailed artwork. How long did it take you to complete it? And was it all freehand drawing? I like the way the "light" feels.

 

[chappy56]

Thanks much Judy. It is freehand and might have taken 15 or 20 hours all told.
It's pen and ink with colored pencil.

I would have better real trees if I had that in me.

Beautiful work, Chappy. Pen/ink and CP are my favorite media to work with, along with soft pastels. I just might try working one up of my new Banyan.

 

[chappy56]

Thanks Ariadne. I'd love to see yours.
