Winter Tree

Winter Tree

Posted by Erin Mansfield

I decided to create a tree.  I once considered myself an expert at drawing trees, from perhaps my 5th grade year and through middle school.  After messing around with this image for quite some time, I feel that the years have robbed me of this expertise or perhaps my ego was just bigger then.  That said, I still feel it is a nice tree.  I drew the image with pen, scanned it, and then edited it in gimp.  I didn't enjoy a plain white background and a black background made the outline and twigs disappear.  So, I used gimp to render in some clouds for the background.  Eventually, I hope to add snow to it and add it to the snow angel pic I created earlier.
