Untreated wood. Markers. Full process. Step-by-step.

I've never painted a tree with markers before (I do not take a stick + circle = tree into account), so I decided to go from the end. The dead tree is also a tree, but at least for the image it will not be a shame))

So, the "snag" with markers.

And a little about the process

I start with an easy sketch immediately with the liner. No pencil, only hardcore)) Well, still this snag no one except me saw))

I conditionally divide the sketch into two parts, since the first layers must be applied before the alcohol layer dries to get streaks and small stains. I almost missed this stage:

Now for the still wet layer I put the average tone and I introduce the shadows:

Similarly, with the second part of the tree:

I begin to work on wood. Somewhere a little diminishing, and somewhere showing the texture:

I take a white pencil and highlight the most lit places. The tree does not shine in the sun, but "glows".

And now a brown pencil to show the texture, because the thickness of the marker turned out to be great for my format (sheet a4)

I tighten the shadows a little more and sign the work

Yes, sometimes I forget about the falling shadow, so do not do it. So here it is:

It took me about an hour to sketch, taking into account the photography. I drew the markers and used white and brown pencils for the details.

P.S. It is hard to write in English, because my native language is Russian. But I'm learning. If you notice serious errors in the text that interfere with the correct perception, please let me know about them.
