Description
Erg, this is crappy. I hope it improves with colour.I wanted to do something like Vhea but of course not the same. And I also wanted to do another tree. I've been wanting to do a spiritual tree to cross stitch (but this is not looking like I want at all ... will have to have another go at it I guess).
I'm feeling so very insecure about my art after showing my art book to my dad and his friend at a recent Christmas party. My dad blurted out 'this book is rubbish, it's all scribbles'
I know that what he meant to say was 'this isn't the kind of stuff of yours that I like (he prefers my realistic style drawings, or colourful, whimsical watercolours). But it still hurt.
My pens are all dead, so I had to paint this with black ink, so some of the lines are a little wobbly.
Oh and feel free to colour my scribbles if you want to.
Now I look at this tree and think it really is just scribbles ... sigh.
***Edit, here's the coloured version ... it did improve

thanks - I know he didn't really mean any harm. I'm learning to bolster myself against comments like that. And I know not everyone can love what I do.
