Walking through a forest..

During the christmas break, one of my friends dragged me out for a walk in the snow in order to cure out hangovers.. it proved to be a very productive day! We went to Delamere Forest which is a local public forest near us and its pretty huge. I used this day to create another 5 drawings because the lighting looked really effective especially at the time of day we went! I did the rough drawings with pencil whilst I was there but the added other medias such as paint and fine liner once I was home.

I decided to use a bigger range of media this tie side the drawings before were done with just pencil. Whilst we were there one of the things I noticed a lot was the fact that although it was a cold day the sun was really strong and played a big part in the areas which I drew which is why I have tried to show the sun coming through the trees in some of the drawings. I found it really interesting to look at the trees up close which is why I have done some quite "swirly" interpretations of the tree trunks.
