Hello everyone!! 🤗

A little extra tutorial today for all members (also free members). I chose to draw some olives and an olive tree for January's tutorial. In this post you can draw along while I illustrate an olive tree. ✨🤗

Some tips regarding this reference

Try to make little leave shaped dots when drawing the base layer of the leaves.

Play with different amount of pressure when drawing with the pencil, to get more depth.

Draw the leaves with a pencil as little scribbles. Try to loosen up when drawing to get a natural effect.

Make sure to darken the middle area of the tree.

Tombow 126 (Light olive)

Tombow 912 (Pale Cherry)

Ecoline 374 (Pink Beige)
