Thank you for sharing your approach to tree-drawing. You pointed out that if you draw leaf shapes in places, it will make the tree seem closer than it is and destroy the illusion of scale - super helpful, thank you!
Thanks for the lesson using a pencil. I am trying to create with pins but it is hard to release a technique I am more comfortable using. But whether I am using pencil or pin most of the time my hatching looks as if my eyes were closed during hatching.
I've been working on a painting which has a very large tree in front of a barn, and is a major feature of the painting. I'm been working bottom up and having the exact problem you describe. I will start thinking and drawing it top down for this next go

Have you seen my hatching playlist Troy? Something there might help. 😀
