Hey there! Very nice practice! However, I don't think you're taking the horizon line of the scene into account. You have a very large tree on one side and, on the other, only silhouettes of smaller trees that appear to sit below the horizon line. They all feel somewhat disconnected from the scene because, on one hand, the scale of the trees doesn't feel believable, and on the other, the smaller ones are only silhouettes and lack any real sense of volume. When it comes to forms, keep the basic shape of the tree in mind, just as you did in your breakdown. By looking at references of this type of tree, you'll notice that their shapes can vary quite a bit. The important thing is to always think about simple forms while drawing and, most importantly, keep the horizon line in mind. This will help you understand how much of the underside of the tree you'll see versus how much of the canopy will be visible. It's much easier to add details and create convincing volume through shading when you start with a solid foundation of simple forms. As for scale, simply placing small tree silhouettes next to the larger one doesn't do much to communicate scale or depth. You could draw the trees following the perspective lines of the scene or even make the background trees narrower. Even if a background tree is technically larger than the foreground tree, making it narrower will still help create a convincing sense of scale between the two. Hope this helps! :) | Artwod Feedback
