Description This is the most lonely apple tree. And his last friend is this apple, that will soon fall and fall far away from the tree. The tree, will be lonely for another year, once again. So that's why it tries to hold onto it for as long as possible.





This is something different from what I usually draw and it took me quite some time to draw. As you can see, I left quite a lot of white, uncoloured spaces. And it's not because I'm a lazy fothermucker, but because I thought it to be a cool way of showing a bit of texture of the hill. And it was the only reasonable way I could find to show those rocks a bit more, so yeah... I like it!

I think I should have drawn the tree to the left side not the right, that way, the composition would be better.

Drawn using a drawing pen and coloured pencils on some sort of cheap A3 paper.

But if you're willing to pay me something that would be a great moral boost for my artistic soul. If you have a contract or something of that sort, then I'd Love to get in a PM

Nice. Love how you colored just the apple to pull our attention to it and the neat story.
Plus good call on the textures. I love art like this.
I need to start doing more works in just pen like I used to in college.

Believe me, the branches are nothing compared to the filling in the hill XD They were even fun, while the bottom part was sooo boring, that I almost turned into a skelly made out of jelly.
And Thanks, I guess? XD

This looks really good and the story behind it is so touching. This is when art gets really good. When it both tells a story and inflicts strong emotions.
