Drawing a tree without the use of brown and green.
I’ve found that using only brown and green for a tree isn’t very interesting. It doesn’t feel very life like. When you mix a few colors in it becomes much nicer. Even if you use colors you wouldn’t see in a real tree.
For this drawing I wanted to try to mix brown for the bark and green for the leafs.
The funny thing is that you need blue to mix both brown and green.
The bark went allright. The first drawing has a little to much blue in the bark but after a few tries I get a nice color.
The only problem is that the tree doesn’t have very much bark. So there isn’t much room to play.
I’m not as happy about the leafs. It’s rather scratchy. I must find some other method to draw leafs.
When I was finishing the third tree I realized that I now know how to draw fire. In fact the third tree looks something of a burning match.
