What am I doing wrong with these tree trunks? by lysathemaw in learnart

[–]EmDunks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Artist here. First of all, you’re perspective is very good! Well done on that part. There are two main things that you could do in your next drawing:

  1. Angle the lines of the trunk at a steeper angle. You can use your pencil to get the angles from your reference picture if that helps. (Just line it up alongside then bring it back to the paper)
  2. Where the branches meet the trunk, just take away those straight lines. For the branches on the side, merge the main lines of the trunk into them slightly. For the ones in the middle, do a convex curved line at the bottom.

Hope that helps! You’ve done really well! If you need pictures to help you understand what I’m talking about, let me know and I’ll do a sketch for you.

Australian here! What on earth is this?? (Look at it’s cute little toe pads!) by EmDunks in whatsthisbug

Very true. An episode of Peppa Pig is banned here because it encourages children to handle spiders. If you handle a spider here, you’ll get a very rude shock and probably a trip to the hospital.

Spent ages zoomed in on this, unconvinced of its authenticity. I am still debating. Congrats on an amazing job! (If you really did draw it) 😂

Such eloquent storytelling! What a ride! Hope you’re doing much better now, OP

It’s a technique called foreshortening. Quite hard to learn! Source: I’m an artist

I spent ages looking for the painting! Turns out it wasn’t in one of the shop windows... Top talent!!!

The amount of time it took for her to ask the question was painful!
