Drawing Day Purple Bonsai Island
For Drawing Day.
Medium: pens and oil pastel on a piece of paper in my sketchbook.

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 and island, my inspiration came from this:
