Come and join if you want to paint and do some studies of nature in all it's leafy glory.
This thread will be dedicated to studies of trees, leaves, foliage, landscapes etc as long there is a focus on natural objects, it's all good!
Due to my crippling loneliness I'm coming back to /ic/ to share some studies and get back into some painting after months and months of procrastination. Shout out to the sticky thread that helped me get into learning art some years ago.
Now, let's paint some leaves n stuff.

Thanks all for sharing, any medium you use is perfectly fine. I'll be messing around with some linework/digital ink style drawings at some point too. I'll be back to post some more later today.
I'm getting flagged as spam for trying to reply to your posts, if anyone knows a way around it?

There's a lot I'd want to change by simplifying things more but I think it's time to move on and keep that in mind for the next thing. I'll take on something a bit more simple too.

The bark texture is awesome, especially at the bottom of the trunk. You've got a good start on the leafy impression you're after, I have no idea when it comes to traditional art, check out some other artists, practice and try out some things and you'll get there, keep it up!

I pretty much exclusively draw characters but have been trying to expand my skillset. It's kinda boring - originally my intent was just to try to better understand clouds and their lighting, but I then tried to make it a complete picture. One thing that I find hard is that I'm used to having clear, distinctive outlines for characters, which isn't the case for natural elements. It's also difficult know what colors to use.

Nice n vibrant with some fluffy clouds, I suppose it depends on what style you want for your backgrounds, you could have linework for them too but your choice. It definitely feels a lot different painting something without linework being there in the finished piece.

Thank you. I can't help but I say I felt kinda proud of the clouds. Even though I know they're nothing special to most people.
I want to continue with backgrounds. I think they''ll be important for my future ideas, but I also just find them cozy :) Nature is so beautiful.
