Description
A present for someone with whom I used to stroll through the riverside woodlands.Besides, this weird, brain-like thing in the front is supposed to be the roots / earth / stone mΓ©lange of a fallen tree - gee, I'm really not used to drawing plants and scenery.
ink, watercolour, colour pencils

What a lovely style, seems simple but is so striking and pleasing to look at. I also like the calm blues you used!

Thanks very much! By the way, he secret of making it look pleasing
is basing the composition on overarching curves that relate to each other.

This is super neat though. I love a piece with lots of varied plant life.

I actually did a stroll through that forest and took a few photos for inspiration.
That blooming stuff to the left, for instance, is some kind of touch-me-not
which only got there after a flood a few years ago. Originally, it's said to be from Asia Minor.

Thank you! Personally, I especially like how the leaves form a single curve.
I'm a real sucker for curvy compositions, so I tend to end up using lots of them ...

I love the blue pallet. It's so calm and I'd love to walk through those woods

Apart from being a present, this image has been a stress relief as well - so blue it is.
When I was a child, these woods had basically been my playground,
yes, they're pretty nice to walk around in.
