Description Sometimes I don't know why I do this to myself...

10.6" x 13.8", pen & ink. Inverted in Photoshop because I thought it looked better.

I also might make more detail shots of this later. Or maybe make a better scan and post it in the original colours.

O.O At first it seems as if there are many trees, but when you scroll down, youΒ΄re really kind of stunned that the root is just one tree.
Great work, must have taken you a lot of time!

Hey! This is cool! ... it almost looks to me like this could be the cover of a book and the tytle could go in that cool little circle you have in there! Must have taken a long time with all those intricate parts... but well worth it!

I kind of feel it would have been more impressive had you actually done the original like this (filling in the blanks between the branches while leaving the branches white and so on) - but it still looks awesome like this! (It would be nice to see the original too).

waxwng In reply to CascadedCadence [2010-12-14 15:53:43 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I've actually been thinking of trying something like this on a scratchboard - it would be a similar effect.. white on black rather than black on white.

As for working in negative space rather than positive... I don't know with a piece like this, haha. I don't think I'll have the patience to go through with it. It would probably not allow a lot of freehand drawing. But its something to consider.

Thanks for the comment

Yeah if I was to estimate it probably took somewhere between 8-10 hours all together.. I did it in odd spurts.

Thank you very much

Haha, actually not at all. It was done for a school assignment and to see if I could actually do it.
It was pretty much a rush job by the end... so I'm thinking of trying it again... one day.
