Here's my first try at drawing trees. I love how easy it all is and with some tweaking on GIMP it will only get better. Thanks!

Oh good! I needed this. Trees give me such problems. You would think that something so simple would be easy to draw but drawing trees frustrates the hell out of me. Thank you for making this!

DawnFrost In reply to SueaNoi [2008-10-09 21:23:46 +0000 UTC]

lol yeah i didn't just want to call them light x2 because the way i use them they have to be insanely lighter then the baise, so hence the term insane'y light =]

LuckyDrakes [2008-10-07 17:38:45 +0000 UTC]

This is awesome! My backgrounds are notoriously horrible and I've always wanted to do trees. I figured it was much easier then my half hearted past attempts. Yay! Expect more trees from me very soon!

Joava [2008-10-06 22:06:36 +0000 UTC]

Pfft, I can already do that! XD I need MORE background stuff...such as the "ground" part and the "putting it all together" part...and perhaps you could give me that thar "patience" part.XD

DawnFrost In reply to Joava [2008-10-07 00:29:19 +0000 UTC]

lol XD well i can't help you with the patience part, but the next thing i plan on doing is doing ether drawing different types of grounds, or more elabrate trees meaning actully whole trees instead of just the trunks.

DawnFrost In reply to i-dog [2008-10-06 21:42:31 +0000 UTC]

X] it doesn't have any nobs or is slightly bent to one side? I would like to see that twig of yours lol i'm glade you will find use of this =] i didn't really esplain much on how to shade the tree but what i find is helpfull is to actully draw the rays of light then draw the shadows acording to that. If that makes any sence X]
