Commissioned Tree Drawing Part 1: Tree Safari

The commission process can be a mystery. I hope to take some of the mystery out and show you how I do it.  Here are the steps I go through when I do a commission for someone! For a Tree Drawing it begins with a tree safari! My friend Lou would like a drawing of the tree she and her husband see out of their front window every morning. So, Lou led me around the property looking at various trees in her yard. Here are a few photos. 


Smooth and rough spots. 

Great texture and branches that are thick and thin! 


Knots.

Dead branches. 

 Possible lightning strike. 


Now onto the next step in part 2.
