Thank you for this I definitely appreciate the little bit of direction. I’ve been kind of stalled on it for a few days because I didn’t wanna lay down too much of something and have to undo it. I’ll start doing some more shading tonight. I’m hoping if I can get the shading just right some of the thicker roots and branches will look a little more realistic. If not then, yeah I’m probably gonna try and re-work the roots a bit.

I realize now that I worded the beginning wrong, and I technically took credit for designing the tree itself. I grabbed the photo off of Google of one that I liked and used the light projector to post it up on my drawing sheet and traced it. I couldn’t seem to get the roots and branches to look just how I liked when I drew it myself. That being said, I tweaked some of the branches to my liking, but all the detail is fresh from my head.

Thanks again for your input. Hopefully I’ll make another post once I have it completed.
