For this exercise I used an A3 paper and a pencil that i constantly sharpened. I’m very proud of this artwork and the detail I was able to make. I feel that maybe I should have done a larger area of the tree but this blue gum tree had a lot of detail from where bark was pulled off and so I wanted to show it in more detail.
The light was very clearly coming from the right of the tree. I feel I managed to also capture the shape and gentle curves of the tree trunk.
