This has much more depth than it did before. I might consider darkening those leaves that are on the bottom and behind and closest to the trunk quite a bit to send that section back a bit, and to make the trunk look a little let stark.
Love this Renata! The bottom section has more definition and contrast now. I like Pam’s suggestion to push it a little more! Your drawing makes me long to return to Kauai! We were walking around the National Tropical Botanical Garden and noticing how stag horn ferns and orchids would grow on the palm trees intermingling with the fronds and make the palm trees even lusher! Great job!
Thank you, Pam and Doug! I have now darkened the leaves but I may have gone a bit too far. Thank you for your comments, Doug. The lush is exactly what striked me about this tree and its ‘residents’. So glad it reminded you of a similar experience. I would love to go to Kauai with you guys one day. 🙂
