THis is for my Grandma in Ohio and i only get to see her once a year so i drew her this. I REALLY wish this was Intermediate quality but I have no idea how to make tree bark... please some one tell me D:

Eya, that's SO sweet of you! If your grandma could see the pic, I'm sure she'd be really happy.

Umm...for tree bark, all I have to say is...study real tree bark, and maybe make rubbings of the bark so you can have a ref. (Obviously, you can't bring full-grown trees indoors. )

Tried that (I had a pic of tree bark on another tab) didn't work (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Oh well then, some lines on the tree and swirly things is better than no lines at all, I guess.

[Chaichai]

Ok >:D

[Chaichai]

Is this good?

[Tsuru]

Eyaaa....maybe make the lines straighter and use the swirls sparingly?

[Tsuru]

Eya...yes. Ehhhh...either way, I bet your grandma would like it.
