Steemit Engagement Challenge WOX Community S6W3: Drawing Trees

Hello beloved friends and fellow steemians! How has it been with you guys, I hope, you have been doing amazingly great. It's to my great interest, to partake on this week engagement challenge on WOX community, my regards to all of you who made this beautiful contest possible "Drawing Trees" I shall be doing my own best in the participation, by drawing calabash tree with clutch pencil.

Calabash tree

This is a calabash tree, it's made up of the stems, branches, leaves, roots, and fruits.
Having been in the calabash plantation, I did the the drawings to the best of my imaginative knowledge.

In my own style of drawing, and to the best I can do, I can start from every side of the object in question to drawn. In terms of drawing tree like this, I start with any part of the body, maintaining proportionality and balance to the best of my ability. Like in this case, I started the drawing with the right side of the branches.

Steps taken to complete the drawings

Step 1

As you can see with the picture above, that in this drawing, I started with the branches as first step using my clutch pencil only, I was taking the lines and looking at the extend, I want the tree to position on the paper, which means I draw, watching to my best imaginations, assuming that the tree is in my eyes already invisibly and was to transfer it to the paper, considering the paper size and tree size that will be proportionate and balanced after the finished product.

Step 2

This is the continuation, in step two where after I had sketched the branch part in step 1 then started to draw the leaves and subsequently taking the lines usually on the leaves which indicates, and makes it recognised and differentiated that it's leave.

And the process, of drawing the leaves is to for the shape from the parents tree, and take a line inbetween the shape, then with the middle line now, connect other smaller side line that usually spread across the entire leaves, just as I indicated in the drawing above.

Step 3

In this step three, I proceeded to the stem, root side and casting of shadow, this the area where the tree body is gradually becoming real by eyes check in proportionality and balance, drawing the stem that will definitely fit the already accomplished work in the previous steps and as well take it down, indicating the root, since majority trees including this type, am drawing, the root are not all buried to the ground completely, therefore, the need to indicate the part shown above the earth surface.

Secondly, every objects, can not be easily found wether there is full light or little without a shadow. This is the indication of the direction of light on the body of the object in question, which makes the sense of making some parts darker than the other, showing shadow cast where higher and lower respectively.

Step 4

As the entire drawing continue to mature and grow, I took my pencil up and indicated in the drawing the calabash fruit, which our people here, puck out, the matured ones, cut the head and upend it to remove the seeds inside and was the container where the either use it to fetch water or use it to tap palm wine. And that is the container, indicated above casting some shadow as attached to the parent tree.

Step 5

The entire body of the tree is gearing into maturity and completion by where I now used my clutch pencil and trace back the already made lines and drawings in the previous steps and review, to make it manifest and visible to the eyes.

Step 6

This is the finished product of my calabash tree where I traced back the entire drawing, making sure to retouch areas needed so that the full ripe for presentation thus, to my best ability.

Thank you so much beloved friends and fans, this is the much I can go in this engagement challenge and want to invite my friends @josepha, @chant and @entity01 to also partake.
