Squirkling works perfectly for rendering diverse highly realistic drawing subjects, including many found in nature as well as several made by humans. In this heavily illustrated lesson, you render a detailed drawing of an old weathered tree with a focus on textures and forms. Contrasting values define the many overlapping branches according to the lights and darks created by the dominant light source.

my tree so far - given close up of quirkling

Its looking good, Don't forget to show us your finished picture, I'm going to have a go at it, I may post my picture depending on how it looks, I'm not a very good drawer, but I love trying

This is a very nice picture
it shows alot of the details that are used in this picture//
I have one question though... uhmmm, do you have any lessons that people can download for free without paying....
I won't use your pictures for advertising or anything..I just wanted to be able to print some pictures out and make a lesson book for myself.. if you could please get some pictures that people don't have to pay for that would be nice...
I only want to make a small book for myself to use as future references when I draw some pictures using your lessons..
but if your not comfortable with letting people download your lessons for free then thats fine

one of the people who learn to draw by using your lessons

Still need more practice on squirkling.... kinda hard to get the right textures.
