I decided to do a little drawing in my journal for Imbolc, and wanted to share it with you here :) I started out with a gorgeous feminine figure in a lovely backbend <3 I began the drawing in pencil as I started to get things where I wanted them.

Next I added a tree , and some grass , getting the base of my design down.

I added more branches to the tree, the birds, the apple, and the pool of liquid forming at the figure's hands. A wellspring of life, I decided I should add some flowers, and began to ink over some of the initial lines, solidifying the design.

I continued the inking process using my sharpie fine tip pen, which is honestly still a bit thick for this design, but it is the only fine tip art pen I have right now, so it will have to do .

Tree branches are tedious and time consuming to ink out hahaha :)

I finished lining out the tree branches, and used an eraser to clean up all the leftover pencil from the initial sketch.

Next I added the tree bark/ line detailing on the figures body, blending her natural bend in with the tree figure, and adding the first touch of color to the drawing. This is as far as I managed to get today before I had to go to work.

Nice drawing @eveningstar92! I'll bet you can do a similar back arch like that :)

When I was a child I could too; back handsprings were so easy! Not any more :( I don't think my spine could handle that type of bend, and it would take years to supple things up :) Use it or lose it :(

Ha i wish! This is borderline contortion . I don't think I could get nearly that good of a bend :( Flexibility requires so much constant work and attention, I struggle with it all the time lol. You are very right, It is a "use it or lose it" skill lol

lol! At this point, I need some restorative yoga to start with :) Too much screen time and not enough range of motion for this lad!

Nice art. Looks amazing and dope. Awesome

Thank you! <3
