Pen and Ink drawing- The mighty Banyan Tree

#penandink #pendrawing #drawingatree
In this pen and ink illustration, we will be using concave and convex forms to create an illustration of a Banyan tree. I'll walk you through the steps I took to create this illustration from a pencil drawing to an ink drawing using traditional pen and ink techniques.
The supplies I used: #2 round sable brush, #102 crowquill pen, black India ink, and 140 lb cold press watercolor paper.
