Drawing Day Tree

For drawing day

Medium: marker, pens, pencil crayons and chalk pastel.

I was inspired by the Japanese artist Hiroshi Senju, who tends to limit his colors in his paintings. Sometimes he paints an image where the background is the complimentary colors of the subject. His style is simple but at the same time intense, where the foreground stands out from the complimentary background. This drawing however is different from his style; I have done another painting before which is closer to his style:

As for the form of the tree, my inspiration came from this:

    Thank you Joanne; It would’ve probably looked better if I took my time on it, but that day was drawing day, and I had a goal to complete as many drawings as I could.
