Chluaid/Adam Forest drawings.

[Varg]

Ever since i first came past your Brackenwood work i have been dying to ask you about your knowledge behind building your forest scenes.

I have a lot of trouble with drawing simple and cartoony yet convincing looking trees. Not only that but trying to give the sense of being in a thick forest is something i have trouble designing as well. If You or anyone have tips on lighting/shading/contrast/ giving the effect of being in a thick forest than please, share. This would help me out greatly! I am sure there are others who are interested as well.

For now, here is an Ms Paint picture i did to replicate a shot in one of the Brackenwood animations. See if you can guess it.

Adam's already made a page about his background creation process, and fortunately I have it bookmarked:

He's posted and said more about his process on the old forums, but you'd have to muck around the archives, and those date back between 2004 and 2005.

Thanks for the help guys. That link you gave me Markham was a massive help :].
I doubt i would have ever been able to find that alone.
