Illustration Friday "Roots"

Compositionally, I think this is the weakest Illustration Friday drawing I've done! But I do like how vibrant the colors came out.

Technique: I drew the image with pencil and then outline with sharpie marker. I colored the image with prisma color watercolor pencils. I added water with a fine brush and drew in some final details with wet pencils. I scanned and voila!

I love the colors too, and the flowing lines. I know you're unhappy with the composition, but I sort of like it. Anyway, I think it's a great illo. :0)

The more I see it, the more I am liking it too. Thanks!

I like this whole piece, particularly the skewed angles and the texture on the tree. These combined with the colour make this a powerful illustration
