let your character fuck up. please. let them fuck up on a scale so massive that this particular thing cannot be salvaged. let their fuck up have permanent consequences. and stoooooooooooooooop having them being the smartest person in the room who always has a sharp comeback to put their enemies down, and who always handles their enemies with grace or at least an air of superiority that s justified because they’re so cool and smart and clever™
let them bleed for their mistakes, let them MAKE those mistakes, and let that bleeding be ugly and disgraceful. let them suffer for their own mistakes, and let them suffer in knowing that they cannot fix. and let other people hate them for the shit they’ve done, and for once let the haters not be ‘petty bad people’.
Let the haters be right.
Here’s one way I draw trees~
- Create solid silhouette of your trunk/ leaves
- Using a solid texture brush (I used the same one for all the steps), cut away into the underside of the leaves
- Add some individual leaves to break up the treetop
- Add lighter/darker hues for volume. I use the same process of laying down a solid stroke and then cutting into it.
