To draw a forest so it's big enough you don't include the tops of the trees or any sky. Just very thick tree-trunks growing absolutely straight.
...
In a proper painting of a forest everything is roughly the same colour, the moss, the tree-trunks and the branches of the fir trees, everything is soft and solemn, half-way between grey and brown and green but very little green. If you want you can add a princess, for example. She is always white and very tiny and has long yellow hair.

Stripped of skin, status, and story, what remains is the truth beneath it all. Bone Deep is a minimalist skeletal portrait rendered in graphite and ink on canvas, built through cross-hatching, stark contrast, and deliberate restraint. The exaggerated skull and hollow eyes confront the viewer directly — not with fear, but with inevitability.
Hello everyone! I have made the tough decision to leave DA for multiple reasons. Reason 1 is that you can only upload 1 picture a day on the free account, which gives me a lot of stress. Reason 2 is that I have a school email, so I cannot be notified when someone likes, follows, or comments. Reason 3 is that I am on The Animator, DeviantArt, Sketchers United, OC Fancy, and this site all at once, which means I have to stop posting on one site to keep myself active on all the others. I will keep my art up for you all to see. I hope you read this, and if you want, you can find me on my other sites: https://theanimator.co.uk/studio/hello_stellantis_residence | https://ocfancy.com/profile/grandcherokee | https://sketchersunited.org/users/280428 |https://www.deviantart.com/subarulover2012
