In spite of all of the drawings I didn't manage to put in any tree roots. I love drawing roots, there is something like the Celtic knot patterns about them, I find them so interesting and fun to draw.
Will try and find some way of squeezing them in somewhere...perhaps.
Fountain pen and wash.
I think some of the branches worked better then others, the ones going away from the viewer as opposed to the coming forward branches, which are less successful.
Black marker and conté.
watercolour pencil and fountain pen.
watercolour pencil and watercolour.
Three shades of felt tip pen.
Brown pencil.
I think this drawing has some good elements.
I do like the tree, it is quite unusual and quite beautiful, with it's practically non-existent trunk and odd mishmash of branches (most bolt upright and a few smaller ones at angle.)
It was interesting to draw.
I think many years ago it must have been coppiced.
