This little comic is about a memory of mine from high school about Wheat Thins.

I forgot to take progress pictures.

This was a hard perspective to do, especially the walls and little fence. This is in Thompson

I tried my best with the background shadows. Overall, I am proud of my tonal drawing and how realistic I was able to make it.

Comments about links:

How To Draw A Tree: I liked how dark his lines were, which is something I could improve on. His shading was also really informative. I need to get used to the shadow and light patterns, especially with the leaves. My leaves are a bit too defined compared to the narrator’s.

Sarah Simblet: Her attention and dedication to detail is admirable. When she mentioned that she would walk around looking at 30-40 different trees of the same species, it explains how her illustrations capture the trees so beautifully. I did not look at that many trees for this project, nor even if I had I don’t think I would have noticed as many details as she did.

Here is the finished still life drawing side-by-side with the real-life image.
