This afternoon I dew my first tree. I was inspired by this YouTube video.
The lines were drawn with permanent black fine liner pens, and the corners in the branches were rounded off with a gold Sharpie marker (unfortunately the gold doesn’t show up adequately on the photo). The colour was added with Tombow Dual Brush markers and blended with a water brush. The detail on the leaves was added with Staedtler fineliner pens. I used some basic printer card which had been coated with a thin layer of white gesso in order for the Tombow marker ink to flow.
Love it!
Thanks, Elly!
That is gorgeous. I must try that out one day. Ali x
Thank you for visiting, Ali, and I’m glad you like my drawing! It is really fun and relaxing to do. I have just visited your blog but can find no way of commenting there so I hope you come back and see this. I used to do painting by numbers as a child and it seems to be enjoying a revival these days! I am so sorry to hear of your recent health scare but very glad to hear you’ve been given the all-clear.
