painting with bazkie! 🧵 a (slow) thread [7/x]

sorry for the delay! I wasn't sure what to do regarding foliage / lighting, so I slept on it a few days.

the light is coming from the right, so I couldn't place the forbidden apple tree there as it would block the sun. so I placed it a bit further back.

then on the left is a foreground tree, so I have multiple z-layers, I always like that kind of depth effect.

the tree on the right is kinda bad tho, because I forgot to consider the depth dimension when it came to the branches. it's kinda unclear now which are pointing forwards and which backwards. newbie mistake!

(I could still fix that at this stage but honestly I can't be bothered. I'll just cover it with leaves and it will hardly be noticeable :toucan:)

tree on the left is better, you can see the leftmost branch pointing a bit towards the front :)

I'm not entirely sure about the background; I'll try to make it a bit of a foggy combination of sky and background trees, and if that turns out too bland/empty I can always add more objects later.

also not sure about how exactly to paint the leaves on these trees; that's not really my strong suit, so I'm doing quite a bit of looking to paintings done by pros to see if I can steal- I mean if I can get inspired 👼

finally then, next up, some actual painting!
