Thinking Time

Description

So I made this to prove a point to myself that I can do art, if only at a laughably basic level. I felt compelled to prove that point after spending way too many hours looking at pretty things here and leaving comments all over the place. If I was going to comments on art pieces, I should at least contribute something other than a couple of offhand pieces of poetry. So thank you DeviantArt for finally inspiring me to make a work of visual art for the first time in...awhile.

This is actually my second try at making this particular piece and applying the lessons I learned from the first version. I'm proud of that tree in particular because it now has actual texture to make it look like bark rather than just brownness. It also has some sense of tree anatomy, which wasn't something I'd ever had to think about before. There are a lot of other details that still bother me a lot, but it isn't a sketch and it isn't so horribly lopsided that i want to mercy-kill it. And I had a lot of fun making it.

So, on the whole, I'm proud of myself.
