This piece i drew in graphite, I've not used graphite a great deal therefore I wanted to trail out some large drawings in the scale of it. I chose this picture because it I feel that it clearly shows layers and would a interesting drawing to attempt. After starting to work into my piece, I found that graphite can create a really nice texture if lent on its side. I used this for most of the trunk but used darker details when drawing on the branches. Overall I don't like this piece, mainly because of the bad shading and I feel that it looks nothing like the original picture of the tree. Therefore I didn't end up finishing this piece because I without using other materials such as a rubber to create different lines, I couldn't add anything else t o the drawing.
This is a closer up image of my drawing in graphite. I wanted to show the texture I was talking about in the previous paragraph. Although I don't like the piece, I have learnt a new was of creating texture on my work that I will be experimenting with throughout my sketchbook.
