    I am learning to be a comic artist, and this channel is invaluable to me in learning how to draw backgrounds without spending 20 hours on one page.

      It's interesting that you mention being a comic artist. If I recall correctly, I brought up the topic of computer animation in another comment section of his.
      I definitely often think of comics or cartoons, when I watch these videos.

    That fragmented line... that might just be what's been missing from my cannopy sillhouetes this entire time! It's still so tempting to put a big fat outline around everything, and it just turns everything into a cartoon. Great little tip here that might just have a big payoff if I learn how to apply right. Great video as always :)

    I moved to Australia just over 6 years ago and I’m just besotted with gum trees. I adore them. There’s a massive one right next to our garden that I’ve tried to draw but it always comes out a bit meh. I shall give it a go again with renewed vision and vigour 😄

      They are so different to European trees in the main, and do present some challenges. Work at observing how they grow and particularly how the branches change direction at times. When we live looking at our subjects it will always be a good session 😀

      @gnarthdarkanen7464 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      While you look for a bit of variety on a landscape that large, don't forget some trends in the "personality" of the trees... While his over-all shape works well for most pines, and some firs, there are cedars and hemlocks (if I recall correctly) where the branches are a tad more springy, preferring to reach out and UP, to make a more "artichoke shape" of the things... rather differentiated from a "sagging cone"...
      Just a thought... along the way... haha ;o)

      Thanks Ian. In Australia, we call everything like that a pine tree, but I’ve been corrected in the past. So it’s a fir, not a conifer? I’m on a learning curve here. 😀

      @@stephentraversart A fir is a type of conifer, but not technically a pine. Pines carry their needles in bunches of two, three, or five, while firs and spruces carry theirs as singles.
      I tend to generically refer to conifers as firs because that's mostly what I'm painting here in Canada 😀

      @gnarthdarkanen7464 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@iansaxby9264 That's cool. I've just worked around enough remarkably old-school wood craftsmen to get how a man can look over a quarter mile away and KNOW FOR FACT that he's looking at a Douglas Fir, or a Spruce, Hemlock, Virginia or Tabletop Pine, etc... Works fairly readily with the broad-leaves, too. Each species has a sort of character to its silhouette and then color and a few other things from proportion to a dubious tendency toward where they sacrifice branches (creating bare-spots) if you know what to look for.
      I'm okay finding some species that way from a distance, but I still occasionally get shook by the old timers... haha...
      Anyways, granted you won't be out to impress a guy who's been 40 or 50 years as a work-a-day sawyer... BUT the odd tip here or there to show a few different characters can help simplify the means by which you're NOT just stamping out the same trees... kind of like "how to avoid same-face syndrome" with people...
      Good luck in your work... ;o)

      @@jaraki This is 7 months late, but don't worry about that as a start. Especially if you are sketching an smaller paper. Tilted drawing board might come handy if you are drawing something bigger so that you don't view it from angle or you don't need to hunch over it which can lead to back or neck pain over longer time. But in general drawing flat is fine way to go I would start and later you can get more equipment depending what you want.
