About The Colored Forest:
Wanted something that allowed the mind to fill in where this place could be
Simplest tools you can make amazing results and great things always happening beyond the trees!
In the beginning each tree I drew had only a single color (brightness). Although we could change the grayscale of each tree to create depth of field, the overall picture was still very flat, so now I started thinking about how to vary the light and shade on each branch. I divide each small segments from left to right into 6 to 8 parallel lines, and then draw these lines with smaller stroke weight, changing the color(brightness) of each stroke. This creates a light to dark effect.
In order to increase the efficiency of the process, I divided thicker branches into more parallel lines, and thinner branches into fewer lines.
