My experience drawing this was very peaceful and fun. I sat outside in my backyard sketching and enjoyed the nice Northern California weather. I ate my lunch, pulled out my sketchbook and lounged with my dogs. The many fruit trees in my backyard ultimately inspired me to draw this piece because they are all blooming for spring. I didn’t want to use traditional greens, so I added a pop of color with warm autumns. Once I finished my lunch I then went to my room to complete the line work.
Overall my piece came out very nice and was a good way to keep me busy during quarantine. The line work I did for texturing the tree was very realistic and it added a real feel to the piece. While the leaves were fun to shade in and I ended up adding an ombre of leaves, so the piece wouldn’t be monochromatic.
