I am Leonardo Pereznieto and today I brought you to visit the Alps...

A very inspiring location.

We are going to draw a forest using a fountain pen.

With short strokes we start sketching the trunk

and the branches.

I know, I always tell you to do nice and loose strokes

and I upbraid you to do short unbroken lines

telling you that you are drawing like chicken steps

but this time is different. It is very different because

the one who´s drawing is me, not you! [laughs]

...no, I´m kidding. It is different because trees

are rarely made out of long and loose curved lines,

they are usually made of short lines that change direction

therefore in this case and exceptionally in this case,

it´s ok!

The light source is going to be in the top left

and therefore the shadows will be cast in this direction.

Some trees are going to have leaves at these height

and some don´t.

I want to give an effect that seems some of the beams of light

will make it through the branches and onto the grass.

As I said the light source will come from this side.

We´ll continue darkening and doing more detail.

I feel that the closer trees are not very integrated

and that´s because they´re missing some shadows.

That´s better.

Let´s give it the last details and it´s ready!

I would love to know what do you think about it!

And if you enjoyed it please give it a LIKE,

and I´ll see you... on Tuesday.
