100 trees challenge
-
Hi guys! Here is my tree number 15. I tried another more detailed trimmed boxtree.
Unfortunately, these trees don't change their color nicely in autumn, so no fall version this time.
-
Here is another boxtree version. This time a cubic again. Tree number 16.
-
Tree number 17 is again an autumn version, late autumn this time.
I plan to intergrate some of these last trees into my Earle adaptation, to test how these guys work in a complete picture.
-
I love the crisp, clean style that your doing these in. I'm looking forward to seeing more tree!
-
Luckily, also limes are trimmed into nice shapes in parks, so finally I could do my fall colored park tree!
Here is tree number 18.
-
With number 19 I tried a young birch for a more spring feeling in this damned cold winter which is going on here right now.
-
@Ed-O Thank you, Ed! I am trying to keep up till I fulfill the 100.
So far it has been really fun and I hope I don’t run out of ideas. -
Here is tree number 20. Again a spring version.
-
With tree number 21 I tried a hazelnut tree, more summer this time.
-
@Jana Can we put in requests for a few more winter versions of trees? I know you are tired of winter in the real world but I think your trees in winter are so beautiful and would love to see a few more!
-
@Rich-Green When I look at my tree collection, I had already the feeling that there is some more blue missing.
Honestly, I was out of ideas to make the next winter tree different from that which I got already. But now that you pushed me, I guess I will take the challenge and try some more. Hopefully, I can show you something soon. -
@Jana I really like all of the trees you've been doing. I'm not a Botanist, but have you ever thought about doing more tropical or jungle trees? I'd love to see you do some of those with vines and other tropical flowers on them, too : )
-
@Ed-O Hi Ed! Yes, I thought about exotic trees already. Actually, I want to do these awesome baobab trees soon. We call them Affenbrotbaum, which means monkey bread tree. But I focused first to those types of trees which I would need for some fairytale illustrations.
But you are totally right, some jungle trees would be fun as well! Anyway I have 79 trees to go, so lots of options are left.
Thanks for the ideas and for following my challenge! -
@Jana I really like the paper weeping willow
-
These are gorgeous! You're doing awesome with this challenge. Are you doing these in Photoshop, or Illustrator, or another program?
-
@Jana Number 20 is my favorite! I love the colors on this one!
-
@MirkaH @SarahLuAnn @drawingmelee
Many thanks for your kind feedback.
I am using GIMP, a free photoshop-like software. The vector-like look comes from using the path tool for building the shapes. -
As Rich suggested, I tried another winter tree for number 22. I am a little overwhelmed by the round shapes. I am missing some straight lines. What do you think?
It is supposed to be a kind of creeping pine.
-
Another winter tree for Rich.
But I could not resist to make another blooming one.
Here is numer 23 and 24.
-
@Jana I didn't know you were using GIMP to make these. Does that allow you to add some texture to these, too? I really like the look on all of these. And making a baobab trees would be KILLER ; )
