Steemit Engagement Challenge WOX Community S6W3: Drawing Trees
Today, as part of the Steemit Engagement Challenge WOX, S6W3: Drawing Trees, I want to present you my work, namely, a drawing showing the greatness of giant sequoias.
Probably, every child is familiar with this huge tree, which, in some photographs, was shown with a tunnel at the base of its trunk.
Drawing on my memory and trying to imagine what it would be like to stand at the base of such a tree, I set to work.
Drawing on my memory and trying to imagine what it would be like to stand at the base of such a tree, I set to work.
Materials.
A simple pencil, an eraser that I didn’t need and a piece of whatman paper close to A5 format, I had a strip that I tore in half.
Steps.
When I got to work, I had two options, the first was to stick to reality, and the second, more surreal.
I liked the second option and, therefore, the tunnel in the redwood trunk looks very long, and not a third shorter, as it would be in reality.
Sometimes, we have a long way to go before we get the result, which is exactly what I want to add to my drawing.
I cannot divide my work into steps, it was done in one step, started and finished.

When I painted this mighty tree, I could smell pine needles and tree resin, I hope.
I would like to invite my friends @kaminchan, @bengy, @tonyz.

Wow.
That is super great. You used 3-point perspective for the tree to vanish in the top, and 1-point perspective for the lovely tunnel.
You used the brightness values correctly, dark at the top of the tunnel, and also as it gets deep.
Paper looks great. Looks like an antique paper.
Love it.
Again, great work, including the texture.
Thank you. I don't know how it is presented in the theory of fine arts, I skipped theory classes, lol. Yes, this paper in A1 format has been lying in the pantry since 1989 and has already turned yellow, it's time to use it :).
I work so hard to make my paper look old, while you have it ready for use :o)

If you look from this angle... :), then, then, the internal and external content correspond to each other..
Unfortunately, I do not see most of the photos in Steemit, there is no response from the server. Can't upload photos, I'll take a look at building maps later.
Sometimes the server is tired :o)
Meanwhile, you can read this guide in my website: map drawing guide.
I would buy myself such a card :). This is painstaking work, starting with structures and trees and ending with a smooth transition of shelf depths and heights.
Hello @barski, thank you for participating in the contest.

Hi @barski!
I am happy to see your great drawing. Your drawing could be a good starting point for a surreal painting or a more detailed drawing.
Perhaps it will be useful for you to delve into the study of perspective. There is a small inconsistency in the vanishing points.
Congratulations, I wish you good luck!
Of course, I am now trying to understand some points regarding the perspective, this is interesting, but as for the non-convergence of points, then I did not rely on specific points when drawing a sequoia, I imagined how it would look if I stood at some distance from it foundations are intuitive actions not based on geometry. Thanks, I'm really glad you found my drawing interesting.
Greetings friend @barski
Excellent work, I like the way you give that giant tree effect, the tunnel looks great.
Thanks for joining the contest.
Thank you very much, I got a lot of pleasure from the drawing process.
Esta sequoia que posiblemente recuerdes de una foto que viste en tu niñez, es una de las maravillas del mundo vegetal que más impresionan. Has elegido un modelo que te conmocionó cuando eras niño. Un túnel atravesando el árbol y por el que podían pasar los camiones. ¿Hay algo más llamativo? Lo has pintado mirándolo desde abajo a arriba como lo haría una cámara fotográfica, mostrándonos lo más llamativo su imponente tronco, su corteza y el túnel. No das importancia alguna a la copa(allá a lo lejos), y has querido meter el conjunto en un bosque de arbolitos enanos que no tiene nada que ver con el tronco. Por supuesto que la profundidad del túnel es muy superior al grosor de la sequoia. Una visión muy original de árbol.
Muchas gracias por sus amables palabras y su comentario tan informativo. Esta secuoya está en el fondo de otras secuoyas que están lejos de este árbol, pueden no ser tan poderosas como este árbol, pero son secuoyas. ¡Qué tengas un lindo día!
Oh! I couldn’t draw; I failed art subject at school. Too busy to take lessons!
Hey, you can't run away from your fate :), apparently, you will have to start drawing, lol.
