Nest Two Ways

1/9/2017

 
I've continued working with my patterns.  I tried creating a complex background using pattern.  While the result is interesting, it isn't what I inteneded.  The proportions are off.  I'd like to see the branch more dominant in the picture.  As it is, it reminds me of a spider's web and suggests that there are more branches than what are drawn. And it leaves room for me to try again. 

Then I did a variation on a more traditional drawing.  The Nest Two Ways.  That one worked well.  So far it seems like the browns - dirt and twigs - are my most successful attempts.

That first one looks really trippy! I like both the nests, though the texture of the nest and the details of the branch look more realistic in the upper image. What was the intent in creating the second one? It looks almost computer-generated.

I was playing with one of the designs I've been working with to see the difference on the overall image. Does it work with more realistic techniques? What is the combination like? And you're right, I didn't spend as much time on the other elements.

I liked the nest a lot, but found the tree very interesting. The background pattern reminded me of a batik cloth. Very nice!
