trying something new

So I wanna try something new, and draw a picture with background scenery and people as well, as opposed to my usually single person drawings (check my screens and you will see).

So for this I need a Maple couple, you don't neccessarily need to be married or anything, just link a picture in the comments underneath and I'll pick one of you to draw.
Thanks in advanced !

You can shade in the trees different to show the distant/ shadow. Like cross hatching n hatching to complete cover. But u probably know this.

But dang, paper n pen r scary sometimes... U have to be daring man!

I generally start all of my drawings with pen and paper-- nib usually. You should lay out the drawing at least roughly in pencil first. I'd even go so far as to draw the entire thing in pencil and use pen to beef up the blacks and linework.

Yeah! And the way the leaves would leave shadows on the skin... *nerds out about lighting*

[quote=BassChan]While I can't throw myself up there as a potential candidate for subject matter (forever alone?), you should definitely try drawing a forest for your environment. They're beautiful and no two are alike, and it's a good way to get into drawing environments in general. Lots of different interesting shapes and negative shapes too.[/quote]
