Tree Drawings Part 2

More drawings from the Brooklyn Botanical Garden last week. I'm studying different types of trees for a Tree Love Story I'm doing. It's about two trees who want to be together but they are separated by a highway. More concept sketches and boards to come. I'm working on my second draft for the script.

 

 

 This is a Yellowood Tree. Robust and has many little branches all around.

This is a Pagoda Tree from China and Korea origins. It has huge swooping branches that hang right above the pathway. If I had more horizontal sketchbook space, the branches would extend double/triple the width that is it now.

 This is an English Oak. It caught my eye as I was walking down the path. The branches had such a strong silhouette. I had to capture it even though it was gated off in a construction zone.

 This is the Cut-Leaf Beech. The branches sweep the ground and the truck has these very Gaudi-like fanciful swirls. A magical find!

Tree Drawings Part 1

I'm working on a story about trees and went to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden as field research. My favorite is the very old Caucasian Wingnut (last drawing)! Should be more coming this week.

Sketches from my trip to California!

Finally posting these sketches. I had a pretty intense week. I went from LA to Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon, then back to LA and then to San Francisco.

First Post! Introduction and Goals!

Thank you for visiting my blog!

I've been sketching a lot more now and I hope to document my work in this blog. I care about telling good stories and making good animations.

Enjoy!
