Mustang in the woods
A while ago, I was commissioned to draw a portrait of a mustang (in April, and it took me two months to sketch it out, and then a couple more months to color it). The client requested a detailed forest, so I agreed, and then started thinking about how I would do it. I draw forests pretty often, but I haven't found a consistent workflow that works well for me. Sometimes I start by drawing all the trunks and branches, and sometimes I just use a scatter brush to draw the foliage, but neither method works very well. This time I watched a few tutorials before I started and it helped.
Also I've made a talking video on YouTube where I share my thoughts on the process. There's no speedpaint, just me complaining and talking about the tutorials and brushes I used lol
P.S. It's extremely hot here, almost 40 degrees Celsius, so I'm barely holding up.
