Figure 12-10. Deepen background tone, add texture

Step 9.

Begin adding tone to the foreground. In the case of the trees below this can take some time because of all the branches. In the photograph you can see that the trees have two shades of green, dark green where the tree is shaded and light green where the sun light hits it directly. A dark tone and a light tone are used to represent the two shades of green. The lighter tone is generally on the right side, the tops of branches, and occasionally on the tips of the left side branches.

Adding tone to the foreground can be done two ways, from lightest tone to darkest or darkest to lightest. In this example, dark blocks of tone were drawn in the areas where it was hard to tell one tree from another. For more distinct trees, the shaded side of each branch was drawn first and the lighter side second. For the main branches outlined earlier in Step 7, the same squiggle technique used for the background trees can be used to draw each individual branch. If you’re concerned about drawing the foreground, practice sketching parts of it on a separate piece of paper before starting it on your drawing.
