 After this I produced 3 sketches of trees, using this moodboard for inspiration. Then scanned them in for later reference:


Out of these ideas, I took the shape of the tree at the bottom and attempted to experiment with digital painting:


I am proud with how this came out as I don't make art by painting alone, so this was a challenge. It is evident that I found it difficult to produce a clear form without the use of lineart, and as a result the depth seems rather confusing and flat. But I do feel that the crater in the middle of the tree makes a good focal point and is my favourite part of this image.
