Description I've been reading The Hobbit recently and its been filling my head with ideas for pieces of work. It's been great, Im finally feeling a bit inspired.
I've just past the chapter involving the path through Mirkwood Forest and I love the description of it. It's dark, dangerous and spooky, but when Bilbo climbs a tree and reaches the roof of the forest "His eyes were nearly blinded by the light... The sun was shining brilliantly, and it was a long time before he could bear it"

I did the forest at night though so I could add in the scary eyes
I've also become obsessed with purple and red because of a cake I made for my Mum's birthday!

This is such an interesting stylized interpretation. And I love the spooky eyes!

looks quite good

when you look at the biggest tree, the tree shouldnt be hidden by the other (bit smaller) one as it is the one who is nearest to the viewer.
